Ballina Community First Responders are a group of volunteers from all walks of life who have joined together to work along side the National Ambulance service and respond to people having Cardiac Arrests, Heart Attacks & Strokes in a 9KM Radius Ballina area. We are activated along with the Ambulance service by Ambulance control to respond to these calls. We are totally self financing and rely on the Goodwill of the public to continue this vital service. Our initial plan was to purchase two fully stocked first responder bags equipped with an emergency defibrillator in each. We succeed that goal and now have a number of stocked bags for our Volunteers to use in the event of a call out.

Going Forward
We now hope to purchase a number of 24hr public access defibrillators and heated boxes,and place them around town and surrounding areas.
If you think you or your business would like to sponsor or part sponsor a Public Access Defibrillator and place it in your area, please get in contact with out team.

We need your help!

We need your help to purchase and maintain public access Defibrillators and heated cabinets in and around the Ballina Area. 

We also need to maintain and restock the Responder bags that our volunteers carry.

Our Volunteers work along side the National Ambulance service responding cardiac arrest calls with in a 9KM radius of Ballina.

None of us know when we or a loved one may have a Heart attack, Stroke or go into Cardiac Arrest. Ballina CFR Volunteers could be the vital link in the chain of survival that could possibly save you or a loved ones life.

Please help us keep this dream a reality.

To do this we need financial help. Please donate as much as you can, Your donation could mean somebody will be able to have dinner with their family and tell them how they survived a Cardiac Arrest.
