AED Guidance for SA Businesses
Who Needs an AED in South Australia
From 1 January 2026, the South Australian Government will require AEDs to be installed and maintained in many workplaces. The information below reflects categories outlined in SA Health’s publicly available guidance. If your property fits one of these, you may need to consider installing an AED to align with these expectations.
The following categories are based on publicly available guidance from SA Health, and represent common scenarios where defibrillator installation may be required.
Large Commercial Properties
600 m² or more of publicly accessible floor space
SA Health’s public guidance indicates that commercial sites with over 600 m² of publicly accessible area are expected to have at least one AED in a visible, accessible location.
Examples: shopping centres, gyms, offices, medical centres, car dealerships.
For Adelaide commercial property owners and managers, this benchmark provides a starting point for planning workplace defibrillator installation. Our team can assess your specific floor area and recommend appropriate AED placement.
Multi-Storey or Multi-Tenant Buildings
AED guidance may apply per floor
Public guidance suggests that each level over 1,200 m² of publicly accessible space may require its own AED. Building owners and managers are generally responsible for ensuring coverage across publicly used floors.
Examples: serviced offices, shared commercial spaces, retail complexes.
Property managers across Adelaide are encouraged to review their portfolios to understand defibrillator compliance for multi-storey buildings. SafePulse provides portfolio-wide AED Site Assessments to help identify placement needs across multiple floors and tenancies.
High-Risk or Public-Facing Sites
Additional AEDs often recommended
Some smaller or high-traffic sites may require AEDs based on activity type, occupancy levels, or public access. These recommendations are based on SA Health’s published information and common industry practice.
Examples: gyms, medical clinics, factories, schools, childcare centres, hospitality venues.
For Adelaide workplaces with higher-risk activities or significant public foot traffic, additional automated external defibrillators may be appropriate, and can provide critical support during a cardiac emergency.

Common Questions
Who is required to have an AED in South Australia?
According to publicly available SA Health information, new AED requirements apply to a range of South Australian workplaces from January 2026. Many commercial, multi-storey, and public-facing sites are included.
SafePulse does not provide legal advice, however we can review your site details and give guidance based on the public criteria shared by SA Health. If you need legal confirmation for your business, it is best to speak with a property or legal professional.
Understanding current AED laws in South Australia is the first step to being AED-ready. Our free site assessment provides clarity on how SA Health’s publicly available information may apply to your specific property.
How do I know if my building is compliant?
AED compliance depends on factors such as your building size, floor layout, and public accessibility. We can review your property details and compare them with the public SA Health guidance to help you understand what may be required.
For formal legal confirmation of AED compliance, we recommend seeking independent legal advice.
When do the new AED laws come into effect in South Australia?
According to publicly available information, the Automated External Defibrillators (Public Access) Act 2022 (SA) applies to Crown-owned buildings from 1 January 2025 and non-Crown commercial buildings from 1 January 2026. SA Health has published guidance outlining which building types may be affected. SafePulse does not provide legal advice, but we can help you understand how the AED requirements may apply to your site.
What are the penalties for not having an AED in South Australia?
According to publicly available information, failure to install or maintain an AED as outlined in the legislation can attract penalties. SA Health and legal resources indicate fines may apply. SafePulse does not provide legal advice — for confirmation of specific penalties or legal obligations, we recommend consulting a legal professional or reviewing the legislation directly.
Do you offer free site assessments to check for AED Compliance?
Yes. Our free AED site assessment reviews your property details and provides recommendations based on publicly available SA Health guidance. We’ll outline the number of defibrillators typically recommended for your building type, suitable placement locations, and signage requirements. There’s no obligation to proceed after the assessment.
What’s included in an AED installation?
Our AED installation service covers everything needed to get your defibrillator set up and ready for use. This includes cabinet mounting, green AED signage, placement guidance based on industry best practice, and registration of your unit with the SA Ambulance Service AED Registry.
You also receive an AED maintenance plan to keep the unit operational and monitored.
How much does AED installation cost in Adelaide?
AED installation costs in Adelaide vary depending on the number of units required, cabinet type, and site complexity.
SafePulse provides transparent, all-inclusive quotes covering the automated external defibrillator itself, cabinet, signage, and AED registration. Our free site assessment helps you understand exactly what your property needs, with no hidden costs or surprise fees.

Do AEDs require ongoing maintenance?
Yes. AEDs need regular checks and replacement of pads and batteries to stay operational. Industry practice and manufacturer guidelines recommend routine servicing.
SafePulse provides six-monthly maintenance visits to test the unit, replace consumables when needed, update your records, and help ensure the AED stays ready to use.
What happens if my AED is used in an emergency?
If your AED is activated, let us know as soon as possible. We will inspect the unit, replace used consumables, verify functionality, and restore readiness.
A small call-out fee may apply for the visit. Consumables are covered if you’re on an active maintenance plan.
Can SafePulse manage multiple sites or large property portfolios?
Yes. We work with landlords, property managers, corporates, and organisations that oversee many buildings.
We can assess your entire portfolio using SA Health’s public guidance, coordinate AED installations across sites, manage scheduling with tenants, and handle ongoing maintenance for each location.
What is the difference between an AED and a defibrillator?
An AED (automated external defibrillator) is a specific type of defibrillator designed for use by non-medical personnel. The terms “AED” and “defibrillator” are often used interchangeably when referring to workplace defibrillators.
An automated external defibrillator analyses heart rhythm when an individual is suspected to be in cardiac arrest, and provides voice prompts to guide the user through the process, making it suitable for workplaces where trained medical staff may not be present.
SafePulse supplies and installs AED defibrillators across Adelaide to help workplaces and commercial properties meet SA Health’s publicly available guidelines.
Can anyone use an AED, or do you need training?
AEDs are designed to be used by anyone, even without prior training. The device provides clear voice and visual prompts that guide you through each step. The Australian and New Zealand Committee on Resuscitation (ANZCOR) states that AEDs can be used safely and effectively without training, although training is recommended where possible.
