One of the branches is the Bright Community Bank Branch of the Bendigo Bank. Mark and his team are all locals and understand the needs of the Local Community.... Recently as you know, the area was under threat with Bush Fires, and with this, the local businesses took a hard hit. But the Bright Community Bank Branch are still helping the Community, and implementing Life Saving AEDS. The latest is at the Bright Brewery. Below is just a few of the other AEDS they have Gifted to the Community. 1. Bright Bowls Club 2. Alpine Childrens Centre Bright 3. Defib at Community Sports Centre 4.

Bright RSL Well done to everyone at the Bright Community Bank Branch, and the Community Bank Board.

18.01.2022 Our thoughts are with the Family & Friends of Russian Athlete Mararita Plavunova. Such a tragedy.

18.01.2022 How Lucky Is Ian, what an amazing outcome. Well done to all the staff at John Grose Dealership, and the responders that attended. As we here at Defib For Life say, Defib's need to be every where. #defibs#defibssaveslifes#

17.01.2022 I am thrilled to be apart of this. It will be an inspiring night. If you would like to come along, cost is $25, would love to see you there.

16.01.2022 Time to look back to 2012. This was when Andrew White and I were just totally in ore of the support of the Altona, Laverton & Point Cook Branches of the Bendigo Bank, they came on board and gave their support to their local Communities and Sporting Clubs with the donation of 100 Defib Packages. They covered Sporting Club, Schools, Community Groups, and also implemented 24/7 Access AED'S. And we are very proud to say, in 2020 we are still working closely with them, and look... forward to the continuing partnership in the future.... What an amazing partnership.... #Defibforlife #throwbackthursday #makingadifference #communitybanking #altona #laverton #pointcook #defibforlife #bepartofsomethingbigger

11.01.2022 Tonight's Ambulance Victoria's live stream about SCA.

11.01.2022 What about the school bus? There may be a defibrillator in your school building, but what about the bus. So many of our kids are traveling daily by bus. Whether thats their morning and afternoon commute or a school excursion or camp. AEDs are completely portable. When thinking about installing a defibrillator in your school also consider distances. Consider: ... How many buses do we have and how often are they used? How long does it take to cross from the office building to the car park? When heading off on camp how Rescue Ready are our staff? Youre ensuring your students, parents, teachers and the driver are equipped to act in an emergency. Thank about it. #schoolsafety #defibrillator #rescueready

11.01.2022 To all Victorian Sporting Clubs. This could be very useful and handy for the many Clubs that are doing it tuff this year. I have had a look at the guidelines, it does cover First Aid Equipment, be sure to direct your queries to the Victorian Sporting contact details provided in the document.

10.01.2022 What a wonderful job the Bendigo Bank are doing across Victoria. Big THANK YOU to the Local Branch in Trafalgar, and also your Board and Staff.

09.01.2022 Bunyip & District Community Bank Branch of the Bendigo Bank have been so supportive to their local Community. They understand the need to have the locals "Rescue Ready" Job well done guys

09.01.2022 The Good Sam App is really working. Can you help?

08.01.2022 Superheroes of Victoria- your community needs you. You know what to do.

08.01.2022 Tomorrow, the 16th October (known as Shocktober) is National Restart A Heart Day Ambulance Victoria & Defib For Life are on a mission to equip all Victorians with the know-how to do basic CPR and to locate their nearest Automated External Defibrillator (AED). We'd love your help. Every day around 18 Victorians will have a cardiac arrest, with only 1 in 10 surviving. We know that bystander intervention has the greatest impact on improving that survival rate. Performing CPR and... using an AED lifts their chances of survival by 68 per cent. Recent research has revealed a 50% decline in cardiac arrest survival rates during the first wave of COVID-19 restrictions in Victoria. Victoria has one of the largest registers of AEDs in the country with more than 6,500 listed, but many people don’t know where they’re located or when to use them. Knowing where to find your closes Automatic External Defibrillator means you can help save a life. We're asking Victorians to visit Ambulance Victoria's site to find their nearest AED. They can search 'find an aed' or visit: https://registermyaed.ambulance.vic.gov.au/ Watch this video for more: https://www.facebook.com/AmbulanceVictoria/videos/3363155353731039/ You can also register for a free Facebook live CPR session on 15th October at 7pm. Either email the Ambulance Victoria Community Engagement team or register your interest on the Ambulance Victoria Facebook page If you miss this session, email the Community Engagement team to book in a free session for your community group through-out October. Lets get on board, lets be Rescue Ready #ambulancevictoria#defibforlife#aed
