We are proud and honored to have Jeremy Irons as our Patron and his signature on members certificates!

JOIN US: 2021 NEWS!

We provide life saving and life affecting services such as technical rescue and medical / healthcare services, which are mostly centred around helping the vulnerable and suffering at the time they need it most.

We also provide support to those communities to prevent or recover from risk or harm and support others, like other groups, who need that assistance. 

During 2021 we are focusing our efforts in 7 main operational membership areas and one non-operational supporting area.

We need your help and are recruiting good people as fellow volunteers to help support our work. 

If you are interested and have any of the skills listed please get in touch after you review this page HERE!

​Partners 

In our many years we have had the good fortune to officially partner with many organisations in our local communities and around the world, many of whom we maintain our relationship with through MoUs, agreements or coordination frameworks. We often work under the aegis of certain official bodies or, as a registered charity and non-profit, may even have our expenses supported and paid for by the host or sponsoring agency such as the emergency services or government agency booking our services. These are just a few of the many many logos of current and previous partners over the years.
