South Aussie with Cosi: Cosi bringing life-saving AED awareness to rural South Australia.

This Sunday, September 27th at 5:30 pm, tune in to South Aussie with Cosi on Channel 7 as Cosi teams up with St John to showcase an extraordinary tool for everyday safety: the St John Pocket AED.

Designed to bring rapid-response defibrillation wherever you go, this compact device ensures that help is always within arm's reach when every second counts.

22 South Australians suffer a sudden cardiac arrest every single week
~10% Survival rate outside of hospital without an AED nearby
~50% Survival rate with immediate AED access, five times higher

Those numbers tell a confronting story, but they also carry a powerful message of hope. An AED doesn’t require medical training to use; it talks you through every step. And for those living and working in regional South Australia, that matters enormously.

“Out on the tractor, in remote paddocks, or along country roads where emergency services can take vital time to arrive, a lightweight, reliable AED can turn bystanders into genuine lifesavers.”

For our farming families and regional communities, distance is the enemy in a cardiac emergency. When an ambulance can be many long minutes away, a Pocket AED kept in the ute glovebox, the tractor cab or the workshop wall becomes far more than a piece of equipment. It becomes the difference between life and loss.

It’s precisely this reality that makes the upcoming South Aussie with Cosi segment so important. The show has long championed the people and stories that make regional South Australia extraordinary, and this feature continues that tradition, shining a light on a simple device that could one day save the life of someone you love.
