Medical Emergencies

Defibrillator (AED)  

AEDs are available at both our venues:

Outdoor venue
At Avalon Beach Reserve, our Club’s defibrillator (AED) is kept in a black box marked ‘AED’, inside the grey storage box at the northern end of the courts. Please ensure the storage box remains unlocked during all pickleball sessions so the AED can be accessed quickly in an emergency. The box also contains a basic first aid kit and a laminated DRSABCD chart.

Indoor venue
At Avalon Recreation Centre, a defibrillator (AED) is located inside the building, on the left wall as you enter the building.

Member story 

One of our members, Ian ‘Hutch’ Hutchinson, was a super fit 50-something year old when his heart suddenly stopped beating. Thanks to the quick-thinking of bystanders who administered CPR, Hutch is one of the lucky 9% to survive an out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest in Australia. Click here to view Hutch's story.
