Port Stephens duty MLC Catherine Cusack said the club had been successful in securing the funding as part of the Local Sports Defibrillator Program.
“Sport is vital part of the Port Stephens community’s social fabric and we need to make sport as safe as possible,” she said.
The program assists sports organisations across the state to purchase AEDs for their sport and recreation facilities.
“Clubs receive 50 per cent towards the funding and maintenance of a defibrillator. Clubs in NSW’s Far West [receive] a 75 per cent co-contribution," the NSW Minister for Sport, Stuart Ayres, said.
“Since the commencement of the program in 2017 the NSW Government has provided over $1 million to assist with the purchase of 835 defibrillators.”
The program is open for applications until May 6.
