Cardiac Defibrillators a supplier of NSW Office of Sport Defibrillator grants

 

The NSW Government’s Local Sport Defibrillator Grant Program is committed to enhancing safety in community sports by providing grants to purchase Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs).

For 2024/25, a total of $500,000 is allocated to distribute grants of up to $3,000 per device. These life-saving tools are crucial for cardiac emergencies, making sports environments safer.

Priority is given to clubs in disadvantaged or financially struggling areas.

Applications open on September 17, 2024, and will close on November 27, 2024, or earlier if funding is exhausted.

AEDs are vital in treating sudden cardiac arrest, significantly increasing survival rates when administered promptly.

By equipping local sports clubs with these devices, the program ensures that athletes and spectators alike have immediate access to potentially life-saving equipment.

Eligible organisations are encouraged to apply early, especially those in areas with limited access to emergency services or higher instances of cardiovascular incidents.
