Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs)

We’re improving access to AEDs in South Australia.

The Automated External Defibrillators (Public Access) Act 2022 mandates AEDs in certain buildings, facilities and vehicles across South Australia.

Non-Crown owned buildings, facilities, and prescribed vehicles (trains, trams and public buses) must comply from 1 January 2026.

Buildings, facilities and emergency service vehicles owned by the Crown must comply from 1 January 2025.
