A vibrant Community looking after each other!
All our volunteers are members of the expanded Kilmore Area community, living & working in the area. The group operates to ensure that should a patient require immediate care our responders can be on the scene in 3-7 minutes with an AED.
Our principle activities are.
- Cardiac Arrest call outs
- Chest pain call outs
- Stroke call outs
- Choking call outs
- Providing CPR/AED training to clubs & members of public
- Develop PAD (Public Access Defribrilator) network in area
There is currently 12 Public Access Defibrillators (PAD’s) located in our coverage area. This network is constantly growing based on information that we gather and we continue to work with local community to ensure adequate coverage. Most of the PAD’s are accessible 24/7 See location on map for more details. Always ensure that if you find yourself in need of using an AED that you contact 999/112.
