Each day brings something new. You never know what you will be tasked to, from the ocean to the bush, from the beach to the mountains. Floods, storms and more.

Swimmers, rock fishers, boaters, bush walkers, campers, aircraft incidents to those in the snow. Each day is something different.

Recent tasking with NSW Police Force saw the Moruya Lifesaver 23 crew out past Canberra, from Talbingo Mountain to Bombowlee.

We can confirm it was fresh 🥶 ⛄️.

Take care, be safe ⚠️.

The HUET course teaches you the skills you need to escape a submerged helicopter/aircraft.

Once you have the techniques, they can easily be adapted to whatever aircraft you are operating. Every time you, your colleagues or passengers get into an aircraft, you’ll consider your exits, your harnesses, your escape plan, and after-ditching actions.

That’s what we teach you and our simulators allow you to develop your practical skills.

Come and learn from the crew that saves lives everyday!

Accredited training in partnership with .

Proceeds go back into the service, which helps to keep us flying!
