THE south-west community now has 24/7 access to four more Automated External Defibrillators (AED) after a partnership between Moyne Shire Council and Ambulance Victoria saw the lifesaving devices moved outside public buildings.

The AEDs were previously located indoors at the Port Fairy and Mortlake Council offices, Port Fairy Community Services Centre and Gardens Caravan Park, but have now been moved to the outside of the buildings to make them more accessible to the public in emergency situations.
