Aerial Emergency Services
Babcock delivers critical and vital aviation services to the civil sector with unrivalled expertise.
Our highly trained pilots and medical staff provide aerial emergency medical services, aerial search and rescue operations and aerial firefighting missions, supported by our in-house engineering teams and operational control centres.
Emergency Medical Services
Agile and ready, our highly trained crew – comprising pilots and aircrew, backed by our engineers and operational support staff – are there when you need us. We deploy swiftly to support emergency services with lifesaving operations for state governments and charities. Our fleet of ambulance-configured helicopters support emergency medical situations in places where it is difficult to use other means of transport; including traffic accidents, remote aeromedical evacuation, rescues and emergency transport between hospitals.
We procure aircraft and customise each to meet exacting requirements, while delivering ongoing asset management and maintenance of fleet to optimise efficiencies, deliver value and realise cost savings.
Search and Rescue
We have specialised rescue teams and mission equipment operators, fully equipped state-of-the-art rescue aircraft and in-flight medical care who deliver rapid response, search and rescue operations at sea and over land, and in the most challenging conditions.
Our aircraft are equipped with sophisticated search capabilities, for day and night operations. Our qualified crew members undergo exhaustive training to achieve the high level of specialisation that these life-saving missions require, undertaking around 6,500 assignments annually across Australia.
Police and border protection
We support our customers in their vital role of preventing crime, preserving wildlife and protecting borders, property and citizens.
With over 30 years’ experience in aerial surveillance, we provide a fast, reliable and professional support solution for our customers. Our aircraft are equipped with sophisticated strategic and tactical aerial surveillance equipment, including night vision device (NVD) capability, EO / IR camera systems, as well as fast rope, winching and rappelling systems. With highly skilled and trained pilots, mission coordinators and observers, we support specialised missions and ongoing surveillance, undertaking over 2,000 surveillance flying hours, over 100 law enforcement training hours and over 400 law enforcement tasks each year.
