Since 1975 the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service has grown from a part-time voluntary summer beach patrol to world-class aeromedical search and rescue operation
The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service currently undertakes more than 1000 missions each year across the Hunter, New England North West, Central Coast, Central West and Mid North Coast regions. This area covers approximately 132,000 square kilometres and includes a population of 1.2 million people. On the back of continued community support, no-one has ever paid to be airlifted from an emergency.
