Successful Applications from Junee

A number of community groups have already successfully partnered the $500 AED Grant from Alpha First Aid with other funding opportunities to purchase an Automatic External Defibrillator and other emergency equipment.

1. Junee Seniors used the $500 AED Grant, in conjunction with a $10,000 grant from GrantCorp, to purchase a wall mounted AED and a wall mounted general workplace First Aid Kit (along with other projects) that have been installed at the Junee Seniors Hall.
2. Junee RSL Sub-Branch paired the $500 Alpha First Aid AED Grant with $2,020 funding from ClubGrants Category 1, via the Junee Ex-Services Memorial Club Ltd, to purchase Portable Emergency Equipment that will be available at their various Commemorative Services (eg Anzac Day, Remembrance Day and others).

The above groups first applied for the $500 AED grant from Alpha First Aid. Once this was approved, the $500 was listed as a “co-contribution” in the other larger grant applications budget.

The written quote from Alpha First Aid then showed the full purchase price of the Mindray Beneheart C1A Save A Life AED Bundle, less the $500 AED Grant, plus delivery to Junee. This quote was then also included in the larger grant budget support documents.
