Campbelltown is one of several electorates that will share in $500,000 from the NSW Government through a program that installs life-saving defibrillators at local sports facilities.
The local sport defibrillator grant program provides grants up to $3,000 to eligible sporting organisations towards the purchase of automated external defibrillators.
The NSW Government says it wants to ensure that people participating in sport in the most disadvantaged areas have access to this life-saving equipment, so they are equipped to respond to life-threatening emergencies.
The program is available to sport and recreation clubs, associations and organisations as well as councils and service clubs in Campbelltown.
Applications close February 24, at 1pm. For further information visit: https://www.sport.nsw.gov.au/grants/local-sport-defibrillator-grant-program

The Navitas Skilled Futures’ (NSF) art exhibition, The AMEP & Me, has opened today (December 19) at Fairfield Central shopping centre.
The exhibition was created by NSF students, sand it commemorates 75 years of the Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP).
It features 12 inspiring pieces, showcasing the transformative journeys of AMEP students, including Iranian woman, Nidhal Matti (pictured), who migrated to Australia in 2017 with her mother, and has since received her Australian citizenship.
“Being a part of the AMEP program at NSF was a life-changing experience,” says Ms Matti.
“It not only helped me learn English but also acted as a supportive community that made Australia feel like home.
“Now, as a proud Australian citizen, I am grateful for the opportunities it has given me.”
The exhibition will be on display at Fairfield Central Shopping Centre until December 31, and at Navitas Skilled Futures Fairfield throughout January 2024. To find out more visit: bit.ly/amep-and-me
