4RO has a defibrillator for the general public to use in the
event of sudden cardiac arrest.


*We are located at 220 Quay Street, Rockhampton QLD 4700 and are open Monday to Friday.*


The Heart180 Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is designed to be used
by anyone, with clear step-by-step voice instructions that can guide
members of the public through the process.

Heart disease is a leading cause of death in Australia, with those who
suffer a sudden cardiac arrest having a 6 per cent chance of survival in
Australia. However early defibrillation can increase survival to 70 per cent.


The Defib is part of 4RO's parent company Grant Broadcasters’
ongoing commitment to providing a safer work environment and continuing to
drive its commitment to being hyperlocal and supporting its local community.


Grant Broadcasters Chief Operations Officer Rick Lenarcic said: “After a
scare with a team member late last year we recognised the importance of
providing and installing defibs across our markets not only for our staff
but also the general public in some remote and also larger regional markets.

“Very happy to partner with Guy and the Heart180 team and even more so the
opportunity for our clients and the general community to get on board and
purchase this life-saving equipment.”

4RO is part of the 100% Australian family-owned Grant Broadcasters local media network.

No one likes extensive rules and regulations, however, consumers have asked for specific rules when it comes to winning prizes on radio stations, and due to this, we outline our General Competition Conditions for you below.

1 - General Competition Rules

1.1 - Grant Broadcasters Pty Ltd (ABN: 65 000 667 470) (GB) operates a number of radio stations across Australia of which the station referred to in this website is one.  Grant Broadcasters may conduct competitions from time to time pursuant to which prizes of money or other property are made available to eligible persons (as set out in clause 3.1) ("Grant Broadcasters Competition").

1.2 - These rules say who is eligible to enter a Grant Broadcasters Competition, how prizes will be awarded and how they may be claimed ("General Competition Rules"). In addition to the General Competition Rules, other specific terms and conditions may also apply to particular Grant Broadcasters Competitions ("Specific Competition Rules"). Any Specific Competition Rules applicable to any particular Grant Broadcasters Competition will be posted on www.Grant Broadcasters.com.au ("Web-Site") and available upon request from Grant Broadcasters reception, during normal business hours, located at the location specified in the contact section of this website.

A decision of Grant Broadcasters is binding and conclusive and will not be challenged on the grounds that Grant Broadcasters failed to act reasonably, fairly, in good faith or otherwise in accordance with the principles of procedural fairness. A decision of Grant Broadcasters will not be challengeable even if it can be demonstrated that Grant Broadcasters made a decision which was wrong, based on a factual error or an irrelevant or irrational consideration.

You may wish to provide to us with sensitive information about you from time to time, for example where you have particular requirements related to a promotion or competition. We may be required by law to disclose this information to certain entities, for example to the police or legal authorities if it contains information that can be summonsed.

Do we record your phone calls to us?

No Grant Broadcasters company conducts recording of any phone calls.

How can you correct your information?

Please let us know if the personal information we have about you is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date and we will take reasonable steps to correct it, including any information relating to credit if you are a client of one of our subsidiary companies.

How can you get access to your information?

You may request details of the personal information, including information related to credit, we hold about you and we will generally provide you with access subject to some exceptions permitted by law. For example, if providing this access may disclose information about another person, or may disclose commercially sensitive information, we may need to refuse to grant you access.

No charges apply to  accessing and providing you with this information. If we cannot provide you access, we will provide a statement of our reasons.

At times we may need up to 30 days to provide this information back to you due to the complexity of computer systems and off-site storage of hard-copy records (where they are used).

How do we manage privacy issues about credit with our clients?

When you enter into a contract with us as a client, we’ll collect and hold your name, address, date of birth and drivers' licence number. We may disclose this information to Veda Advantage and/or Dun & Bradstreet which are Credit Reporting Bureaus (CRBs) if we decide to do a credit check. You may contact the relevant CRB to obtain its policy on how it manages your credit-related personal information using the contact details below:

If you believe on reasonable grounds that you have been or are likely to be a victim of fraud, you can request CRB not to use or disclose credit reporting information about you. In addition, you can request the CRB not to use your credit reporting information for the purposes of pre-screening of direct marketing by a credit provider.

The CRB may include information that we provide to it in reports that they provide to other credit providers to assist them to assess your credit worthiness. If we do a credit check on you with CRB, the CRB will generate a credit score for you and make this available to us. We’ll use this information to help us assess your credit worthiness, and we will keep a record of whether you passed or failed the credit check (based on our credit criteria) but we will not keep the credit score generated for you by the CRB.

If you become our customer the identification information we collected from you, that you passed the credit check and any information about your credit defaults with us will be held in our customer database.

If you don't become our client, your identification will be held in our client database until such time as it is destroyed.

If, after reasonable follow up, you do not pay any outstanding amounts owed by you to us we may supply to the CRB with this information along with relevant personal information. This may include:

• identification information about you
• the fact that you have applied for credit and we are a credit provider to you
• advice about payments more than 60 days overdue which are ‘in collection’ that we are permitted to report to the CRB
• that, in our opinion, you have committed a serious credit infringement
• that credit provided to you has been paid or otherwise discharged

Notification to the CRB that any of your outstanding payments are no longer overdue will only be made following payment of the outstanding amount including any accrued interest.

You’re entitled to access and seek the correction of the credit-related personal information that we hold. If you have a complaint about the handling of your credit-related personal information you can contact our Privacy Officer.

What if you disagree with our decision?

Where we make a decision about you or affecting you, you may ask us to explain the basis on which that decision was made, and you may ask to see the personal information (if any) on which our decision is based 

Our websites

Cookies

Like many companies, we use ‘cookie’ technology on our website. ’Cookies’ are small text files a website can use to recognise repeat users, store registration data, facilitate the user's ongoing access to and use of the website, allow a website to track usage behaviour and compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements.

Cookies are not programs that come onto your system and damage files. In some cases, cookies may collect and store personal information about you and, if that is the case, we will extend the same privacy protections to that information as we do to other personal information we collect about you.

You can disable cookies or be warned when cookies are being used by adjusting your internet browser settings. However, disabling cookies may mean that you are not able to access parts of our website or to take advantage of the improved user experience that cookies can help provide.

Visiting our website

When you visit our website, in addition to any personal information you submit (e.g. for a quote or in a contact form), a record of your visit will be recorded. This record may include the following types of information:

• your server address
• your top level domain name (e.g. .gov, .au)
• the date and time of the visit
• pages accessed and documents downloaded
• the address of any website that linked you directly to our site
• when you email us we will record your email address

Third party websites

Our website may contain links to third party websites. We are not responsible for the content and the privacy practices of third party websites and do not endorse or authorise their content.

You should familiarise yourself with each website's privacy policy and make your own decision about providing personal information when visiting those sites.

Can the ways in which we use your information and the conditions of use be changed?

Periodically we will update this privacy policy to reflect changes to privacy legislation, technological changes, company policy and customer feedback. You should refer to our website from time to time to view the current version of this privacy policy.

We will investigate your complaint and respond to you in writing within 30 days. For complaints specifically related to credit, we will also provide you in writing, within 7 days, an acknowledgement that your complaint has been received, setting out how it will be dealt with by us. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact us to discuss your concerns or lodge a complaint with the Australian Information Commissioner (www.oaic.gov.au).

It's annoying isn't it? You just want to work your way around our website and then suddenly nothing works the way it should.

Well, there are a few things you need to check first...

What browser are you using?

This website is designed and tested to work with the following web browsers;

• Mozilla Firefox - current version
• MS Internet Explorer 8 and up
• Apple Safari - current version
• Opera - curent version
• Google Chrome - current version

You'd be surprised how many problems with our website are caused by people using Internet Explorer 6 or 7. IE6 and IE7 are very outdated browsers that are not designed to work with modern websites and web-based applications. IE6 had been superseded over ten years ago, plus there have been dozens of updates to it since then as well. Before you ask us to fix something that doesn't work for you, please make sure you are using one of the browsers above... and please get rid of Internet Explorer 6. It is so old and unsecure that even Microsoft don't support it any more!

Spelling errors and typos

We're all human and sometimes in our hurry to get something online as soon as possible for you, a typo or spelling mistake may be missed. If you notice any, just email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
