The Local Sport Defibrillator Grant Program is now open.

The Local Sport Defibrillator Grant Program is aimed at providing Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and associated equipment to NSW sport and recreation facilities and clubs.

An AED is a device that is used in conjunction with Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and delivers a controlled shock to an individual experiencing cardiac arrest, increasing their chances of survival.

The NSW Government is providing up to $500,000 in funding to eligible sporting clubs and facility owners through the Local Sport Defibrillator Grant Program in 2024/25 with grants up to $3,000 available.

In 2024/25 funding is open to applicants within the bottom five Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) as ranked by the Australian Bureau of Statistics or those who can demonstrate financial hardship in order to prioritise available funds to those who need it most.

The townships of Wilcannia, Hillston, Balranadl, Hay, White Cliffs and Menindee are eligible to apply.

Applications close on November 27, 2024.
