Defibrillator (AED) Hire
Ready When Seconds Count!
When sudden cardiac arrest strikes, survival is measured in minutes.
ProMED Tasmania makes it simple to have a fully equipped, ready-to-use Automated External Defibrillator (AED) on hand — without the upfront cost of buying one.
Whether you’re running a one-day event, managing a temporary worksite, or covering a gap while your own unit is serviced, we deliver a tested, compliant defibrillator to your location anywhere in Tasmania.


Why An AED On-Site Matters
Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, at any age, with no warning.
Around 25,000 Australians suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest each year, and without intervention the survival rate is as low as 5%. The single biggest factor in survival is how quickly a defibrillator reaches the patient.
- Every Minute Counts — when a shock is delivered within the first minute, survival can be as high as 90%.
- The Clock Is Brutal — for every minute without defibrillation, the chance of survival falls by around 10%.
- Don't Solely Rely on Ambulance Response — the average ambulance response can be 8–11 minutes, which is often too long to wait.
An on-site defibrillator bridges that gap. A defibrillator is designed to be used by anyone.
It reads the patient’s heart rhythm, decides whether a shock is needed, and guides the rescuer step by step with clear voice prompts.
Having one within reach turns bystanders into life-savers.

AED Hire for Events & Short-Term Cover
Buying a defibrillator rarely makes sense for a day, a weekend, or a season.
Hiring gives you the same protection for a fraction of the cost, with no ongoing maintenance.
Perfect For:
- Sporting events, fun runs, cycling, and triathlons
- Festivals, markets, concerts, and community gatherings
- Film/TV productions, weddings, conferences, and functions
- Construction, civil works, and temporary or remote worksites
Every Hire Includes:
- Lifepak CR2 Defibrillator
- Carry Case
- CPR Prep Kit (CPR Face Shield, Razor, Gloves, and Shears)
- Quick-Start Instructions
- Phone Support

Compliance & Local Service
Under Australian WHS law, employers must provide adequate first aid.
Safe Work Australia guidance recommends considering a defibrillator wherever there’s a cardiac arrest risk or quick ambulance access isn’t guaranteed — common across Tasmanian worksites, events, and remote sites.
Hiring helps you meet that duty of care without capital outlay, and every unit arrives serviced, tested, and in date, with hire documentation available for your records.
ProMED Tasmania is local and delivers statewide — Hobart and the south, Launceston and the north, Devonport, Burnie and the North-West Coast, plus regional and remote sites on request.
