BMX club claims a defib Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON BMX Club is among the latest sporting clubs to receive a defibrillator and training package from the state government as part of the Defibrillators for Sporting Clubs and Facilities Program. 300 successful applicants were chosen across the state, with Carrum Rowing Club, and Chelsea District Basketball Association among the institutions picked. Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny today announced that sporting clubs in her electorate were chosen to receive the packages. “We here in Carrum electorate are proud of our local sports clubs and their efforts to make their sports more safe and enjoyable for all,” Ms Kilkenny said “In a life threatening sudden cardiac arrest every second counts, and bystanders play a vital role because the chance of surviving a cardiac arrest decreases by 10 percent every minute that passes without defibrillation. “This program funded by the Andrews Government helps local clubs implement a sports medical plan, so they are prepared to act fast in an emergency.” The Heart Foundation estimates that 25,000 people suffer a cardiac arrest outside of hospital in Australia every year, with just a 10 percent survival rate. In addition to the defibrillator and training, six years of essential maintenance are also included in the program.
