Is Your Adelaide Workplace AED Ready? A Plain-Language Checklist for Facility Managers

Man in an Adelaide gym uses a Mindray defibrillator on another person, lying on the floor, in a simulation of how to workplaces and buildings can be AED ready

If you manage a gym, community centre, club, or venue in Adelaide, the question of whether your site is AED ready is worth taking seriously right now. South Australia’s Automated External Defibrillators (Public Access) Act 2022 came into effect in January 2026, and SA Health has published public guidance supporting AED access across many building types. Whether you run a small fitness studio in Thebarton or a large community hall in Marion, getting your site ready before that date makes good practical sense.
