Lead a local AED project
Bring residents and businesses together, identify local needs and discuss suitable public locations. Nominate a Team Leader and another local volunteer to work with CDP on planning, fundraising and ongoing checks.
COMMUNITY ORGANISATIONS · STRONGER TOGETHER
Your local connections.
Our shared mission.
Bring a community AED project to life through the organisation you already belong to.
Progress associations, community associations, Lions clubs and Rotary clubs already bring people together. Partner with Community Defib Project to turn that local knowledge, practical help and fundraising into publicly accessible AEDs with a plan for ongoing care.
BUILD ON WHAT YOU ALREADY DO
A practical project for your organisation.
Your group brings established relationships, local knowledge and people who care about their community. Start by discussing how your existing committee or club can take part and who can be the local contacts. We will agree the project responsibilities together.
You can lead a new project, contribute to an existing one or support a specific part of the work. You do not need to have funding or a location finalised before contacting us.
CHOOSE YOUR CONTRIBUTION
Four ways to work together.
CLEAR ROLES FROM THE START
Local input. A team behind you.
Your organisation
- Brings local knowledge, relationships and community input.
- Nominates contacts and agrees who will coordinate local activities.
- Helps raise the agreed funds and identify a suitable public location.
- Arranges local checks and reports concerns if taking on ongoing care.
Community Defib Project
- Helps plan the project and agree the location and support arrangements.
- Coordinates the AED, cabinet, signage and installation.
- Supports fundraising and sponsorship coordination.
- Maintains project records and coordinates reminders, expiry tracking and maintenance follow-up.
CDP is a volunteer run community project. Installations and maintenance need agreed funding. We will confirm responsibilities, costs and arrangements before work proceeds.
PLAN FOR THE YEARS AHEAD
More than a one-off donation.
An AED needs local attention and a plan for replacement consumables. Decide who will check it, who will report faults and how ongoing costs will be funded before installation.
New installation
$3,500 fundraising target per installation
The current package includes the AED, cabinet and stand, freight and coordinated installation, plus inclusion in the CDP network. CDP will confirm the proposed location and arrangements with you.
Ongoing support
Annual support or pay as you go
Annual support is $250 per financial year for the first AED and $200 for each additional AED in the same community. It starts on 1 July following installation. Pay as you go funds replacements as needed.
Read inclusions, costs and exclusionsEducation is funded separately. Existing overdue replacements require funding. A partnership enquiry does not commit your organisation to a purchase or payment.
Questions from clubs and associations.
Can our existing committee be involved?
Yes. Tell us how your organisation operates and which members can coordinate the project. Your existing committee can nominate the local people to work with CDP. We will agree roles, contacts and ongoing responsibilities together.
Can we help without managing the AED?
Yes. Your organisation can discuss a fundraising contribution, sponsorship or support for an existing community project. Agree who will take responsibility for local checks and ongoing care before proceeding.
We already have an AED. Can we partner with CDP?
Contact us with its model, location, access arrangements and current condition. Existing AEDs can be assessed for inclusion in the network. Any signage, equipment updates or support costs will be discussed before an arrangement is agreed.
Can we apply for a grant or seek recognition for our contribution?
Discuss the project and any proposed grant application with CDP before applying. Eligibility depends on the particular grant. We can also discuss suitable acknowledgement of your organisation's contribution before a sponsorship is agreed.
