AEDNear.com Find an AED Near Me

If someone collapses and is not breathing normally, call emergency services, start CPR, and send someone to get an AED. This page searches mapped AED data near your location.

Call emergency services

There is no reliable worldwide AED map, and most places do not have a reliable countrywide one. Ask emergency dispatchers, staff, security, and bystanders too.

Emergency first: Use the AED search only if another person can keep CPR going or you can send someone else. Do not stop chest compressions to browse a website.

New Zealand AEDLocations.co.nz 9,000+ mapped AEDs with 24/7 vs limited/unknown availability.
Australia No single national public AED map found. Use Triple Zero (000) first, then try the state/territory links below.

Mapped AED results

Tap “Find AED near me” to search actual mapped AEDs. If results are empty, ask the emergency dispatcher, building staff, security, reception, gym/pool staff, or bystanders. A mapped AED may still be locked inside a closed business, airport zone, school, office, or shopping centre.

Use the AED

Turn it on and follow the voice.

1

Open and power on

Open the AED case or press the power button. It will speak instructions.

2

Attach pads

Bare the chest. Put the pads on exactly as shown in the AED pictures.

3

Stand clear

Do not touch the person while the AED analyzes or shocks.

4

Resume CPR

After shock or no shock, restart chest compressions immediately.

Where to look

AEDs are often close, but not always obvious.

Look near entrances, reception desks, security desks, gyms, pools, schools, airports, malls, hotels, offices, train stations, apartment lobbies, and sports venues. Check access: many AEDs are locked away after hours.

  • Ask emergency dispatch: “Where is the nearest AED?”
  • Shout to bystanders: “Who knows where the AED is?”
  • Send someone to reception, security, gym/pool desk, or building management.
  • In New Zealand, use AEDLocations.co.nz; it shows thousands of AEDs and whether access is 24/7.

Country and state registries

Useful AED maps found so far. This is a directory, not a guarantee.

There is no reliable worldwide AED system, and many countries do not have a reliable countrywide public AED map. Links here are included only when a public map, registry, app, or official data source could be found. Coverage can still be incomplete, closed, app-only, or dependent on local owners keeping records current. A listed AED may be locked inside a closed business, airport area, school, office, gym, or shopping centre. In a cardiac arrest, call emergency dispatch and ask for the nearest AED.
