I am sure that half a million dollars in funding being made available to sports clubs as part of the Local Sport Defibrillator Grant Program will be welcomed by the wider community.
The funding has been announced as part of Round 3 of the NSW Government’s four-year, $4 million program.
The Local Sport Defibrillator Grant Program helps sports organisations buy Automated External Defibrillators (AED) which can be used to respond to cardiac emergencies.
It’s critical that our local sport and recreation facilities are equipped with this life-saving equipment and I urge local sports organisations to apply for funding in the current round.
Early access to a defibrillator can significantly increase a person’s chances of survival in the event of a cardiac arrest.
Eligible sports clubs and organisations can receive between $1250 and $1900 in funds towards the cost of a defibrillator.
Applications close May 6, 2019. Sports clubs are encouraged to apply as soon as possible for the best chance of securing a grant.
Details about applications and eligibility for the program can be found at www.sport.nsw.gov.au/clubs/grants/defibrillator
Money search
I BELIEVE it’s important that local residents check whether they are owed any unclaimed money, with new Revenue NSW figures revealing a whopping $152 million in ‘forgotten’ money is still yet to be claimed.
Revenue NSW holds close to 430,000 unclaimed items from deceased estates, share dividends, bonds, over-payments and a range of other sources.
Revenue NSW receives unclaimed money from government agencies, private companies, local councils and State Trustees.
Cost of living is a major issue facing families and households, which is why I want everyone to check their eligibility.
It only takes a few minutes, but you could walk away with some extra money in your pocket.
Checking eligibility is simple and easy and can be done online via the free search tool on Revenue NSW’s website.
Alternatively, people can visit any Service NSW centre and speak to a staff member who will conduct the online search.
Residents are also encouraged to make appointments with Service NSW cost of living specialists, who will check a person’s eligibility for any unclaimed money and around 40 other government rebates and incentives, including Active Kids vouchers, free rego for regular toll users and CTP refunds.
