Squadron Energy is renewing its support for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service in Northern NSW after helping their Tamworth and Lismore based aircraft complete over 1,280 missions since July 2023.

Tim Alt with the Westpac Helicopter
The Westpac Rescue Helicopter was tasked to the scene and a road trip that would have taken just shy of three hours, had Tim in that Tamworth ICU in 45 minutes. After 13 days in hospital, three in ICU and 10 on the ward, Tim went home.
“I cannot speak higher of the staff on the helicopter and the first responders – they were all brilliant and I am grateful for their care,” Mr Alt said.
“The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service is such an invaluable Service.
“Knowing the aircraft is on standby for the community provides comfort to both our regional area, and to the families of patients around Northern NSW.”
In addition to sponsoring the Service’s Tamworth and Lismore based aircraft, Squadron Energy’s Sapphire Wind Farm team also sponsored the Ride For The Chopper earlier this year, as well as providing support to the Glen Innes and Inverell volunteer support groups.
Sapphire Wind Farm is located on Ngarabal Country, 18km west of Glen Innes and is one of the largest operational wind farms in NSW.
