The Epping Club is proud to announce the successful installation of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) in partnership with Heart of the Nation. This life-saving equipment reaffirms the Club's commitment to the safety and well-being of our members, guests, and the wider Epping community.

The unveiling ceremony was attended by Club staff, management, and distinguished guests, including Heart of the Nation Founder and CEO, Greg Page (OG Yellow Wiggle), Dominic Perrottet (Member for Epping), and Anissa Smart from Smart Exposure, whose collaborative efforts made this installation possible.

Heart of the Nation has been at the forefront of promoting and advocating for accessible AEDs throughout the community. Their dedication to saving lives aligns perfectly with The Epping Club's mission to provide a secure and welcoming environment for all individuals.

An AED is a portable device that can automatically diagnose and treat life-threatening cardiac conditions, such as sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). When used in conjunction with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), an AED significantly increases the chances of survival during a cardiac emergency.

"We are thrilled to have partnered with Heart of the Nation in bringing this vital equipment to Rawson Street," said Peter Saez, CEO of The Epping Club. "The installation of an AED strengthens our commitment to maintaining a safe and supportive environment for our members, staff, and the wider community."

The Epping Club encourages all individuals, whether trained in CPR or not, to familiarize themselves with the location of the AED (in the Administration Building) and its proper usage. Quick response and immediate access to an AED are critical factors in saving lives during a cardiac emergency.
