Hawke's Bay Rescue Helicopter Trust

Hawke's Bay Rescue Helicopter Trust

The Hawke's Bay Rescue Helicopter provides a free, round the clock, dedicated Rescue Helicopter Service in the Hawke's Bay region.

Hawke's Bay

The Hawke's Bay Rescue Helicopter Trust is a registered charity, established to provide a dedicated Rescue Helicopter service to the Hawke’s Bay. Each year our crew assists in nearly 400 missions within the region, with over 80% of these missions providing urgent medical assistance at accident scenes or inter-hospital transfers for the critically ill.

Our life saving service operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and is completely free of charge to everyone in our community.

Unlike some other Emergency Services, the Rescue Helicopter is a registered charity and we need to raise around $1.4 million each year to remain operational. It is only with the generous support of individuals and businesses in the community that we are able to continue saving lives.
