AED Site Assessment
AED Site Assessment
Our Free AED Site Assessment service helps South Australian workplaces understand what the publicly available AED guidelines mean for their site. Whether you manage a single building or a large property portfolio, we review your layout, identify potential coverage gaps, and provide clear best-practice recommendations based on SA Health’s publicly available information and manufacturer guidance.
This assessment is not legal advice and does not interpret legislation, but it does give you a practical action plan to help you prepare your site for AED installation and ongoing readiness.

Who is required to have an AED in South Australia?
According to publicly available SA Health information, new AED requirements apply to a range of South Australian workplaces from January 2026. Many commercial, multi-storey, and public-facing sites are included.
SafePulse does not provide legal advice, however we can review your site details and give guidance based on the public criteria shared by SA Health. If you need legal confirmation for your business, it is best to speak with a property or legal professional.
How do I know if my building is compliant?
AED compliance in South Australia depends on factors such as your building size, floor layout, and public accessibility. We can review your property details and compare them with the public SA Health guidance to help you understand what may be required.
For formal legal confirmation of compliance, we recommend seeking independent legal advice.
How much does the AED site assessment cost?
Our AED site assessment is free with no obligation. We review your property details, provide placement recommendations based on publicly available SA Health guidance, and outline next steps. You only pay if you choose to proceed with an AED installation.
What information do I need to provide for an AED site assessment?
It helps to have your building type (office, retail, medical, school, etc.), approximate floor area, number of floors or tenancies, and any floor plans if available. Don’t worry if you don’t have all the details, we can work with what you have and gather anything else needed.
How long does an AED site assessment take?
For most single-site enquiries, we can assess your needs and provide a quote the same day once we have your property details. For larger portfolios with multiple buildings, timing depends on the number of sites and the information available. In most cases we can assess sites remotely, but for more complex layouts we may recommend a quick site visit, we’ll confirm the best approach and timeline when you get in touch.
Does SafePulse need to physically come out to the property to do an assessment?
Most of our site assessments prior to AED installation can be done off-site. If the property owner or manager is able to provide basic details (building type, size/floor area, number of levels/tenancies, for example), we can usually make recommendations without needing to physically see the property.
There are some occasions where we may need to do an on-site assessment, for example when the site is larger or more complex, or the layout is tricky.
Either way, our site assessments are always free, and come with no obligation.
How quickly can SafePulse provide a quote?
For most single-site installations, we can provide a quote the same day once we have your property details. For larger portfolios, we’ll confirm timing based on the number of sites. Call us on 08 7008 7092 or send your details via email, and we’ll respond with a clear, itemised quote covering your AED installation, cabinet, signage, and registration.
What’s included in an AED installation?
Our AED installation service covers everything needed to get your AED set up and ready for use. This includes cabinet mounting, green AED signage, placement guidance based on industry best practice, and registration of your unit with the SA Ambulance Service AED Registry.
You also receive a maintenance plan to keep the unit operational and monitored.
Do AEDs require ongoing maintenance?
Yes. AEDs need regular checks and replacement of pads and batteries to stay operational. Industry practice and manufacturer guidelines recommend routine servicing.
SafePulse provides six-monthly maintenance visits to test the unit, replace consumables when needed, update your records, and help ensure the AED stays ready to use.
What happens if my AED is used in an emergency?
If your AED is activated, let us know as soon as possible. We will inspect the unit, replace used consumables, verify functionality, and restore readiness.
A small call-out fee may apply for the visit. Consumables are covered if you’re on an active maintenance plan.
Can SafePulse manage multiple sites or large property portfolios?
Yes. We work with landlords, property managers, corporates, and organisations that oversee many buildings.
We can assess your entire portfolio using SA Health’s public guidance, coordinate AED installations across sites, manage scheduling with tenants, and handle ongoing maintenance for each AED across all locations.
