Two more AEDs have been distributed by the Bendigo Community Bank Woori Yallock and District.

The Yellingbo Rural Fire Brigade Station and the Don Valley Hall, next to Don Valley Primary School, each now have a defibrillator stationed out the front.

They follow publically accessible AEDs installed in Woori Yallock, Hoddles Creek and Launching Place.

Residents are encouraged to inform one another about where they can find their nearest defibrillator in the event of a cardiac arrest.

Always call Triple Zero (000) if you suspect someone is going into cardiac arrest so paramedics can respond. The emergency responder can also give you the code to unlock a public AED or you can sign up for the GoodSAM app and help save local lives.
