How you can support us…
The ride to and from the West Coast air rescue base is now a little smoother thanks to Westroads and Earth & Turf.
Earth & Turf generously donated a digger and time to rake and scrap the driveway ready for Westroads to deliver a truckload of donated shingle. The crew are incredibly grateful for the new driveway and the difference it will make. Patients being transported between the base and hospital will enjoy a much smoother journey, with far less rattling along the way.
An enormous thank you Westroads and Earth and Turf for your generous support of the West Coast Westpac Rescue Helicopter and your West Coast community.

Last Saturday, two H145 rescue helicopters travelled to Lake Brunner for boat and water winch training.
Training like this helps the crew stay ready to respond when our communities need them most, and we couldn’t do it without the support of our community partners.
A huge thank you to @CoastguardWestCoast and Coastguard Lake Brunner for providing the boat, jet skis and people in the water; @LakeBrunnerEcoLodge for the use of their paddock for helicopter landings, refuelling and staging; and @ANZCO_Foods for supplying burgers to fuel the crew after training.
The weather put on a spectacular day, and we look forward to sharing more photos soon. Thank you for helping the crew stay ready.

Rescue crews never know what each day will bring - they need to be trained for every eventuality.
Your support helps fund more than life-saving missions. It enables our significant investment in advanced crew training, ensuring rescue crews can deliver higher levels of patient care in even the most challenging of environments.
Hear Critical Care Paramedic Tom talk about why training is so important, and how it helps ensure crews have the skills, knowledge and confidence to provide the very best care when every minute matters.
