THE Rotary Club of Maleny has launched a vital new project aimed at making life-saving Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) easier to find in emergencies.
With more than 20 AEDs scattered across Maleny and the surrounding district, locating one in a critical moment can be challenging.
The project seeks to improve community safety by installing clear, strategically placed signage directing residents and visitors to the nearest AED. In addition, the initiative encourages AED owners to register their devices with the Queensland Ambulance Service, ensuring the community can access accurate information when every second counts.
James McCormack, who is managing the project for Rotary, said the aim is to have it completed by the end of November.
“By increasing awareness and accessibility, we hope to give the Sunshine Coast Hinterland community the tools they need to respond quickly in a medical emergency,” he said.
This project is an important step in supporting local health and safety.
