AuSCAA
The ASCALE Registry
Become part of the Australian Sudden Cardiac Arrest Lived Experience (ASCALE) Registry
If you are a survivor of sudden cardiac arrest, a family member, a carer, a bereaved relative, or a responder, your story has power when shared. The AuSCAA is creating a national registry to ensure voices like yours are heard.
The ASCALE Registry is a secure and respectful platform where your experience can help:
-
Advocate for change: inform government policy and healthcare decisions with real-life stories.
-
Raise awareness: share your journey through media and campaigns to educate the public about SCA and the importance of CPR and AEDs.
-
Support research: optionally connect with researchers to help improve care and support for others (subject to ethical approval).
How ASCALE works & your protection
We are committed to treating your story with the utmost dignity and care.
-
You are in control: You decide how your story is used. We will always seek your explicit permission for each new request.
-
Secure and private: Your information is protected in a secure database, managed in strict accordance with Australian privacy laws.
-
Respectful matching: AuSCAA will always contact you first to explain any opportunity and ensure you are comfortable before connecting you with media, researchers, or policymakers.
-
Ongoing support: We maintain regular check-ins to update your preferences and ensure your continued well-being.
