Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service

​​Since 1975 no one has ever had to pay to be assisted by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service. That is because the people in our community believe that a dedicated and professional aeromedical service is a vital part of our region.

Today, the Service is there for 1.5 million people throughout Northern NSW. Our region stretches north from the Hawkesbury River to the Queensland border, and we are approaching 1,500 life saving missions each year. The Service responds to a diverse range of community needs, from people injured on the roads, farms, workplaces, sporting fields, in the ocean, at the beach and in the bush. The Service also completes hundreds of inter-hospital transfers each year for specialist care.

Every dollar raised will help to ensure that the Rescue Helicopter is ready to respond 24 hours per day, 7 days per week with no one ever having to pay to be assisted.
