21.01.2022 Today marks the beginning of Men’s Health Week, a week that focuses on the health impacts of men’s environments. Our people are our most important asset and their mental and physical wellbeing is crucial to ensuring we are prepared for anything anytime anywhere. This year Men’s Health Week highlights the importance of taking the time to have regular check-ups with a general practitioner. Tips from www.menshealthweek.org.au to manage your health:... Be active in getting medical help if you don't feel well, have a problem that won't go away or notice unusual symptoms. It's OK to seek help - don't try to do everything on your own or bury problems. Talk to your partner, friends and workmates. Push hard to get the help you need to manage your life, work, family and financial needs. Partners - be proactive in helping your men and boys get the help they and you need. Use available hotlines, speak with professionals to get the best course of action and be persistent. Don't leave it too late to seek help. For more information visit: https://www.menshealthweek.org.au/ #menshealthweek #vrarescue

Just after 5.45pm yesterday (Monday 27 December 2021), emerg...ency services were called to White Cedars Road, Kains Flat about 35km north-east of Mudgee following reports two children were missing. On arrival, officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District were told the children a 14-year-old boy and 12-year-old girl had left for a walk at about 2.30pm and had not returned. A large multi-agency response was commenced, with assistance from specialist officers from Police Rescue, PolAir and the Dog and Mounted Unit. Police were also assisted by NSW Ambulance, NSW Rural Fire Service, Fire & Rescue NSW, NSW Volunteer Rescue Association, State Emergency Service NSW, and the Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter Service. Following an extensive search, the two children were located by PolAir in bushland about midday today (Tuesday 28 December 2021). They are currently being escorted from bushland and will be reunited with family after being assessed by paramedics. Police would like to thank the media and the community for their assistance.

Aside from our Primary General Land Rescue and Vertical Rescue roles, we also provide services to support our Emergency Services colleagues, both paid and voluntary. To all our Rescue Squad members both active and support, THANK YOU for all that you do, and THANK YOU to your families, friends, employers and others who make it possible for you to provide your life saving services.
