We help the NSW Volunteer Rescue Association (VRA) provide vital search and rescue services for people in rural areas.
They may be victims of a road crash or industrial accident, trapped by storms, in trouble on inland waterways or at sea. The NSW VRA are highly skilled rescue squads and often amongst the first to arrive at a scene. The volunteers provide knowledge and manpower to free victims so they can receive urgent medical assistance.
