Life-Saving Defibrillators for Lismore Electorate Sports Facilities
By Jeff Gibbs
Lismore MP Janelle Saffin has applauded eight local sporting organisations for securing a share of $500,000 in NSW Government funding to install potentially life-saving defibrillators at their facilities.
“With more people participating in sport and active recreation across the Lismore Electorate, it’s essential that our facilities are equipped with these devices,” Ms. Saffin said. “I commend the recipients for prioritising the safety and well-being of their participants.”
Funding Recipients in the Lismore Electorate:
- Cawongla District Tennis and Recreation Club Incorporated: Cawongla Tennis Club & Community Defibrillator – $2,345
- Dunoon United Football Club: AED at Dunoon 2480 – $2,999
- Flourish Projects Incorporated, Lismore: Defibrillator Installation for Community Safety – $3,000
- Lismore GG’s Golden Rugby Club: Saving Players’ Lives – $2,290
- Murwillumbah Croquet Club: Murwillumbah Croquet Club AED – $2,450
- Northern United Rugby League Football Club, Lismore: Defibrillator on standby at Northern United RLFC – Improving survival rates with a rapid response – $2,999
- Rainbow Roos AU Incorporated, Lismore: Fun & Inclusive Soccer For All – $2,499
- Urbenville & District Bowling Club: Urbenville Bowls Club Defibrillator Project – $2,999
The funding was awarded as part of the NSW Government’s Local Sport Defibrillator Grant Program, which provides up to $3,000 per organisation for the purchase, installation, and training in the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs).
Since the program began, more than 2,500 devices have been distributed to sport and recreation organisations across the state.
“These defibrillators are crucial tools that can save lives in an emergency, and I’m proud to see so many local organisations taking steps to ensure the safety of their players, members, and spectators,” Ms. Saffin added.
