River 949 has a defibrillator for the general public to use in the event of sudden cardiac arrest.

We are located at the corner of Pine Mountain Road & Hill Street Raymonds Hill, North Ipswich and are open Monday to Friday.

The Heart180 Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is designed to be used by anyone, with clear step-by-step voice instructions that can guide members of the public through the process.

Heart disease is a leading cause of death in Australia, with those who suffer a sudden cardiac arrest having a 6 per cent chance of survival in Australia. However early defibrillation can increase survival to 70 per cent.

The Defib is part of River 949’s parent company ARN’s ongoing commitment to providing a safer work environment and continuing to drive its commitment to be hyperlocal and supporting its local community.
