Shocktober
Tell us what Shocktober means to you and two lucky winners will get to choose between the St John G5 or X3 Defibrillator
78% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in our homes. We don't all live with a paramedic, Shocktober is your chance to win your own defibrillator.
Each year in October ‘Shocktober’ aims to highlight the vital importance of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and CPR in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest.
Having more defibrillators in the community, accessible 24 hours a day, means we can increase the survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest.
Shocktober Competition
We want to give back to YOU! We are giving away 1x St John G5 Fully Automatic with iCPR (valued $2,450) and 1x St John X3 (valued at $1,995).
To enter, submit a photo, video or text telling us what Shocktober means to you. Whether it's a creative tribute, a community moment or a personal story - we want to see it!
Share how a defibrillator could make a life-saving difference for your community.

The St John G5 Defibrillator
- The St John Ambulance G5 with Intellisense™ CPR (iCPR) is the only AED to combine real-time CPR feedback with user-paced rescue prompting.
- The G5 analyses the patient's heart rhythm in seconds and delivers a customised shock for each patient.
- It has the highest capacity AED battery in Australia with 420 shocks.
- It is rugged and water resistant, with a high IP rating of 55 - meaning it is designed for durability.
St John X3 Defibrillator
- Designed for the ordinary person to make a difference and save a life.
- The 5-inch LCD colour screen visually instructs the user on what to do and how to do it while also providing practical real-time guidance with step-by-step voice instructions.
- This semi-automatic defibrillator has a simple child mode button, allowing the device to safely provide defibrillation to children without the need for separate pads or accessories
