This WRHS provides 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to anyone in need, and very importantly, anyone receiving help, not having to pay.
The WRHS operational area extends from the Hawkesbury River in the south, to the Queensland border in the north, and as far west as Brewarrina and Nyngan or even further if tasked. The WRHS operates from three bases across northern NSW, Newcastle, Tamworth and Lismore, using AW139 helicopters.
In March of 2015 a Doctor and Paramedic were included on the helicopter crew 24 hours per day, and the WRHS now responds to over 1,500 life-saving missions each year.
The AW139 Helicopter cost $1,000 per hour in fuel, $1,000 per hour to run the engine, $1,500 for the airframe and for $500 avionics, that’s a total of $4,000 per hour, not including crew.
The Drover’s Run 4WD Outback Adventure is a major fund-raising activity for the WRHS and is being held from the 5th to 22nd August, 2024. Scott and Warren are participating in the Drover Run, to assist with this fund raising.
