Save Money, Save Lives: Why Now Is the Time to Invest in a Defibrillator
EOFY isn’t just about tax savings – it’s about making a real difference.
As we approach the final weeks of the financial year, many businesses are rushing to take advantage of the ATO’s instant asset write-off. But what if your tax deduction could also save a life?
The Greg Page AED Story
When former Yellow Wiggle Greg Page collapsed from a sudden cardiac arrest during a reunion concert in 2020, it was a defibrillator – used within minutes, that brought him back. According to the Heart Foundation, that quick response saved his life. Without a defibrillator on-site, the outcome could have been tragically different.
Now, Greg is on a mission to raise awareness about the importance of AEDs (automated external defibrillators) being readily available – especially in places where people gather: workplaces, gyms, schools, and retail environments.
Why Your Business Needs an AED
- Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone. It doesn’t matter how fit, young, or healthy you appear – cardiac arrest strikes without warning.
- Survival drops 10% for every minute without defibrillation. Having an AED on-site can increase survival chances by up to 70%.
- Workplace safety compliance. As WHS laws evolve, more businesses are expected to include AEDs in their safety kits.

What’s Holding You Back?
Still unsure whether your workplace needs a defibrillator? Ask yourself:
- ? Would your team know what to do in a cardiac emergency?
- ? Is there an AED within 3 minutes of every person in your building?
- ? Have you ticked off all your WHS safety requirements?
If you answered “no” to any of the above, the time to act is now.
Final Weeks to Claim: Ends June 30
Greg Page’s story is powerful, but what’s more powerful is the ripple effect it’s created. Businesses across Australia are taking cardiac safety seriously, and so should you.
