✔️ High schools
… and many more!

We’re on a mission to ensure local AED (Automated External Defibrillator) information is accurate and up to date.
Our goal is to help you regularly check and maintain your AED so that, if it’s ever needed, our 111 Operations Team can confidently direct a first responder, GoodSAM volunteer, or bystander to your device knowing it’s fully operational.
If you’d like support, get in touch and request our “Check Your AED” information pack. Email northaorakicommittee@stjohn.org.nz

Every minute someone calls for an ambulance in NZ ⏱️🚑
Chest pain, breathing problems, falls, patients who were generally unwell or those who were unconscious made up the highest number of ambulance incidents.
💡Almost 15% of incidents were referrals from healthcare practitioners, like GPs, when their patient needed emergency care.
In a medical emergency, we're here for you! 💛🚑
