NSW Government’s Local Sport Defibrillators Grant Program
Published Thu 19 Jul 2018
Sports Minister Stuart Ayres has announced that from 16th July, local sports clubs and councils will be able to apply for the latest round of the NSW Government’s Local Sport Defibrillators Grant Program, involving the rollout of 2,500 devices.
The Local Sport Defibrillator Grant Program allocates $4 million over four years to assist sporting clubs across NSW in the purchase and maintenance of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs).
An AED is a life saving device which delivers a controlled shock to an individual experiencing cardiac arrest, increasing their chances of survival.
About the program
The Local Sport Defibrillator Grant Program provides NSW sports clubs the opportunity to acquire an AED package for their club or sports facility at a reduced cost.
Sporting organisations will be able to choose from a panel of approved AED Panel Service Providers and a variety of AED packaged services with the level of customer service that meets their needs.
The base level AED package will include:
- An AED
- AED familiarisation instruction
- A minimum of six years of essential AED maintenance
