Westpac Rescue Helicopter spent 40% of fundraising on events to support 24/7 emergency missions in northern NSW.
The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service says it spent 40% of its $16.9 million 2023-24 fundraising on events like the Hunter Rescue Ball, defending the expense as necessary to sustain its 24/7 emergency operations across northern NSW.
While higher than similar charities, the service says events cover their own costs and fund critical needs including equipment, training, and facility upgrades.
It receives $42 million annually from NSW Ambulance and relies on community fundraising for about 29% of its $59 million budget.
Despite whistleblower allegations of workplace misconduct, the organization denies systemic cultural issues, states its finances are independently audited, and highlights over 1,595 missions flown in the past year.
