The Hills Shire: 43 Steps to a Heart-Safe Future
The Hills Shire - Australia
Staying Alive Health is proud to announce the rollout of 43 Rotaid 24/7 publicly accessible defibrillators throughout The Hills Shire local council area.
This vital initiative is aimed at improving community heart safety by ensuring immediate access to life-saving equipment, any time of day or night. Working closely with local, state, and federal governments, we are committed to raising awareness about the importance of heart health and empowering sporting clubs, community venues and the wider community with the tools and knowledge to act in an emergency.
With each defibrillator strategically placed for maximum reach, we're bringing critical support closer to every home, park, and public space across this local government area.

"As the first association with 100% AED coverage across all 30 venues (since 2022 with Staying Alive Health), we know 24/7 defibrillator access is vital for our 15,000 members and the wider community. Our facilities are true hubs, and constant life-saving equipment gives peace of mind to every visitor. It’s about protecting our community, supporting our clubs, and standing together for every heartbeat.”
Michael Edgar - GM Hill Shire council
“Right from the first time I saw the device and the cabinet I was very impressed. Not only was I impressed with the AED in its look, feel, operation but with the security cabinet and its security features. Clearly it opened a possibility where not only would more AED’s out in the community, but they were able to be publicly accessible, identifiable and secure. I have been amazed at the initiative shown by our local community groups who have lodged grant applications for the installation of these AED’s and the Council has been able to support these grant proposals by giving the owner’s consent for their installation in the buildings its owned. It must be acknowledged that the role of Brooke Collins of Staying Alive Health with his driving passion and foresight has been critical to the success of this partnership.”
