Aussie Shuttles sponsor CareFlight Venture ~
Starting in Oberon the trek takes in some magnificent countryside
throughout the Central West and West of NSW passing through many long
towns and villages including Hill End, Gulgong, Mendooran,
Coonabarabran, Collie, Dubbo, Trundle, Forbes, Barmedman, Grenfell and
Gooloogong before the finish in Orange.
The field of around 20 vehicles raise funds throughout the year to
be part of the Venture and the monies raised go directly to aiding
CareFlight's operations around the state.
Since 1986 CareFlight has provided the people of NSW with one of
the world's most advanced and medically proficient, rapid-response
emergency helicopter and medical retrieval services. More than
1,200 critically ill and injured patients are treated or transported
each year. CareFlight is a not-for-profit organisation, a
registered charity and is proud to be rated as a Public Benevolent
Institution. While CareFlight provides its services without
costs to all patients, the service costs over $8.5 million annually to
staff, equip and operate around the clock.
