Over the next week AEDs will be installed in community centres, libraries, the Customer Centre and the Central Market; complementing existing AEDs at the Town Hall and recreational facilities.
Two public access AEDs (available 24/7) will also be installed in high use areas; Victoria Square and Rundle Mall for a 12 month trial.
The project launch was held in Rundle Mall (near the pigs) on Tuesday 14 February at 11.30am.
