Aeromedical \& Special Operations is a core service delivery directorate of NSW Ambulance and provides specialist coordination, response, treatment and multi-modal transport for pre-hospital incidents, medical retrievals, long distance medical transports, search and rescues and major incidents. It utilises both fixed wing and rotary wing aircrafts with a state-wide fleet of 13 helicopters, 7 fixed wing aircraft and 8 road retrieval ambulances, transporting 12,000 patients per year. It is recognised internationally as a world class organisation and a beacon of thought leadership in the sector.
