24.01.2022 We’re always there to help, so our crews know the importance of looking out for each other, ensuring that one another is ‘OK’! If you’ve noticed a change and a...re feeling someone you know or care about isn’t behaving normally, no matter how small, trust your gut instinct and act on it and ask R U OK? Perhaps they seem out of sorts? More agitated or withdrawn? Or they’re just not themselves. By starting a conversation and commenting on the changes you’ve noticed, you could help that family member, friend or workmate open up. If they say they are not OK, start a conversation and show them they’re supported and help them find strategies to better manage the load. If they are OK, that person will know you’re someone who cares enough to ask. So today, ask someone in your ‘crew’ if they are OK! A conversation could change a life.

20.01.2022 Earlier today the Westpac #RescueHelicopter was tasked to the #WarrabahNationalPark, north of #Tamworth to a serious single vehicle accident with two occupants ...trapped. Local #NSWAmbulance #Paramedics and Emergency Services commenced treatment and extraction of the occupants. On arrival, the #Helicopter Critical Care Medical Team assisted a male with chest and arm injuries, who was released from the vehicle, stabilised and flown to Tamworth Rural Referral Hospital. The second occupant was assessed and transported by road to Tamworth. #TowardsZero #DriveSafe See more

06.01.2022 Wishing you a veryMerry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year Thank you to our community for keeping us flying

06.01.2022 THANK YOU RICHARD! Today marks 25 years of Service for our Chief Executive Officer Richard Jones OAM. Richard’s outstanding commitment to the community, ...empathy for those in need, leadership skills and vision are credited by the Board, Regional Advisory Committees and staff as being integral to the Westpac Rescue Helicopter’s evolution into becoming one of Australia’s leading aeromedical services. As the big 25 milestone approached, many people asked Richard how he has remained so dedicated to the Service, in which he explains he is very grateful to have the continual support of his wife and kids and to put it simply ‘it’s never felt like a job’. I love what I do and I’m passionate about the vital role our Service provides for the communities of Northern NSW. It’s an absolute honour, every day is so dynamic, there are continuous challenges, however I always see positive growth and the growth I see across our teams inspires me every day. Today Richard says he is driven by the community support, past patients, small towns out west and volunteers, ‘it really keeps me keen to keep going’. I love seeing the community support and the positive outcomes together we are saving people’s lives and the end product is that every time the Rescue Helicopter leaves the groundso many people had a part to play. This includes our entire helicopter family both past and present, our engineers, aircrew, marketing, housie, finance, admin, board of directors, regional advisory committees, volunteers and donors. Also the NSW Ambulance Paramedics, NSW Heath Doctors, Nurses and the entire emergency service network across the regions who do such wonderful work. All of which come together to ensure we can provide the best in aeromedical support 24-7, he said. The Westpac #RescueHelicopter would like to thank Richard for his outstanding 25 years of service.
