ANGLESEA Lions Club and the Bendigo Community

Bank Anglesea have combined to make Anglesea and

Aireys Inlet a safer place for those who may suffer a

cardiac arrest over the coming holiday season.

Defibrillators have been purchased, at a cost of

over $8,000, for placement in the towns.

The defibrillators, (also known as AEDs –

automated external defibrillators), have been placed

on the outside walls at locations in Anglesea and

Aireys Inlet as follows.

Aireys Inlet• Strapper Surf, 83 Great Ocean Road

Anglesea• Go Ride A Wave, 143 B Great Ocean Road,

• Anglesea Pizza & Pasta Shop, 1/63 Great

Ocean Road

• Anglesea Motor Yacht Club, at Point Roadknight

• Bendigo Community Bank at 97 Great Ocean Road

There are now two AEDs available at either end of

the main shopping centre in Anglesea.

In addition, the Anglesea Lions Club has a portable

defibrillator to be used at various functions such as

the Xmas Carols, Australia Day celebrations and

other events the Lions are involved in throughout

the year.

The devices are easy to use and give instructions on

their use once they are activated.

Information from Ambulance Victoria shows that

over 6,000 Victorians a year suffer a cardiac arrest

away from hospital.

The time between someone collapsing from cardiac

arrest and paramedics arriving is critical.

When a defibrillator is used before an ambulance

arrives the chance of survival almost doubles.

Ambulance Victoria is also introducing lifesaving

technology, known as “GOODSAM”, to ensure that

people having a cardiac arrest can receive life-saving

help from a trusted responder in the critical minutes

before paramedics arrive.

It is a smartphone app that alerts the trusted

responders when a triple zero (000) call is made.

“Trusted Responders” will include off-duty

paramedics, medical professionals and other

emergency responders as well as members of the

public with appropriate first aid training.

At the same time as an ambulance is despatched

as a result of the call, any trusted responder in the

vicinity receives the information as to the location of

the patient and is sent immediately to provide CPR.

Allied with this is a register of the location of all

defibrillators so that the trusted responder can use

it in an emergency while awaiting the arrival of the

ambulance.

The defibrillators provided by the Anglesea Lions

and Bendigo Community Bank will be registered so

they can be part of the “GOODSAM” project.
