The Cardiac Arrest Survival Foundation (CASF) aims to reduce the number of needless sudden cardiac deaths in Australia by facilitating the adoption of defibrillator / AED rescue systems in the home, workplace and public areas by increasing public awareness and contributing to public policy. CASF was formed in 2005 and is headquartered in Sydney, Australia.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of sudden death in Western society yet we know little about its impact in Australia.
While the number of deaths in Australia has been estimated at over 33,000 per year, the CASF aims to improve the validity and application of this important data.
Community Deployments
Deployment of defibrillator / AED rescue systems in the community is a "brick and mortar" heart safety initiative of the CASF.
