RAC RESCUE

Every hour of every day - WA’s free 24/7 emergency rescue helicopters

When the unthinkable happens, the RAC Rescue helicopters are there. Ready to respond around the clock, we deliver search and rescue, critical care and emergency support to Western Australia — at no cost to patients.

Whether it’s on land or at sea, our goal is simple: to bring emergency care to you when it’s needed most. The RAC Rescue helicopters are funded by the State Government, managed by the Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) and sponsored by RAC.
