Please donate to provide life saving defibrillators to every Anglican Church in Tasmania

An AED increases the chances of surviving a cardiac arrest. The goal of this program is that all people who spend time in our churches will have access to these potentially lifesaving devices.

We would love to see an AED in every Anglican Church in Tasmania, because you never know when or where you will need one.

Each AED package will include:

• 1x HeartSine Samaritan 360P AED
• 1x AED Preparation Kit
• 1x Portable hard carry case
• 15 x online AED e-learning courses.

and costs $2,150.

We’d love to see an AED available in every parish in Australia. This is because you just never know where or when an AED may be needed.  Please select the number of AEDs you would like to set as a target for your parish taking into consideration the number of properties you have within a parish.

An AED, or automated external defibrillator, is used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It is a sophisticated, portable, easy to use medical device that can analyse the heart’s rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electronic shock, or defibrillation, to help the heart re-establish an effective heart rhythm. 

The warranty period for the HeartSine Samaritan 500P AED is 8 years.

There is no specific or formal maintenance required on the HeartSine Samaritan 500P AED however it is recommended that the AED is visually checked regularly to ensure that the AED’s readiness light is flashing.  

The team at Stryker have developed a bespoke community fundraising platform that has been built specifically for the purpose of fundraising for AEDs. We understand that within our community there are many organisations that give so much to their members. The ability for many of these organisations to fund an AED can be challenging and cost prohibitive. 

Stryker’s Community Heart Program allows not for profit, sporting, religious and educational organisations across Australia and New Zealand to apply for the opportunity to run an online fundraising campaign using Stryker’s specifically designed platform to raise the funds required to obtain an AED for their very own community. Once approved, the organisation will be given the opportunity to tailor the platform to suit their very own branding and organisational requirements. The organisation will then be connected with one of Stryker’s Platinum Distribution Partners who will provide delivery of the AEDs in line with fundraising targets being met. 

Stryker supports the Community Heart Program by providing the white labelled community heart program to not for profit, sporting, religious and education organisations at no cost to the organisation. Stryker also pays all transaction and merchant fees associated with donations to the community heart program.

Each AED package will include:

• 1x HeartSine Samaritan 500P AED
• 1x AED Preparation Kit
• 1x Portable hard carry case
• 15 x online AED e-learning courses.

and costs $2,550.
