Member for Davidson Jonathan O’Dea has announced that community sport clubs can now apply for life-saving defibrillators under the State Government’s Local Sport Defibrillator Grant Program.
The Local Sports Defibrillator Program is available to sport and recreation clubs, associations and organisations as well as councils and service clubs.
Up to $3,000 is available per device and it is understood organisations can apply for up to three devices.
Member for Davidson, Jonathan O’Dea, said sport is popular across the electorate, with more people participating in sport and active recreation.
“This funding will mean more defibrillators are at local sports grounds and other locations in the community,” he said.
“They are simple to operate and anyone can use them to immediately respond to life-threatening emergencies.”
“I encourage all eligible organisations to apply for these grants and will help prevent the trauma, and heartache, that cardiac arrest causes.”
Applications are open and close Friday, 10 February 2023.
