Description
Educating ordinary people to take extraordinary action to save a life. Anyone can be an Urban Lifesaver. Urban Lifesavers is a NFP & registered charity dedicated to raising public awareness about the importance of ordinary people taking action during a sudden cardiac arrest by applying an automated external defibrillator (AED) without delay. Ordinary people can be urban lifesavers if they just know why, when and how to use an AED.

Sign the defibrillator petition please! Nine years ago (Feb 17) my children Bridgette, Paul, Gerard, Xavier & Damien lost their fit & healthy dad, Paul Snr, suddenly to #cardiacarrest. Sudden cardiac arrest is the #1 killer in the developed world but it is reversible and #defibrillators make the difference between life and death. Don't let this happen to someone you love. Sign our petition to the State & Territory governments requesting that automated external defibrillators (AED) be included in OHS/WHS legislation. It is over 560 times more likely that a cardiac arrest will occur compared with a fire/smoke related fatality but there are no laws requiring defibrillators in the community. AEDs need to be as commonplace as fire extinguishers. All workplaces and public spaces should have ready access to an #AED. Anyone of us can be a #UrbanLifesaver and get someone #BackinaHeartBeat if we have the equipment to do it. #Heartsmatter #Savinglives #HeartSafeWorkplace http://ow.ly/4DEH3093ckr
