Making a difference to the lives of others is a significant and heartwarming gesture.
Giving this support through a gift in your Will is a generous and direct way to have an impact on the lives of patients who the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service transport each and every day.
One of most common things their patients say is, “I never thought I’d need the Westpac Rescue Helicopter… but I am so grateful it was there for me.”
This type of feedback means so much to the Service because they know that it’s the support of the community that helped to ensure that one of their Rescue Helicopters and Critical Care Medical Teams could play a role in helping to save someone’s life.
As a registered charity, you can make the gift of a bequest part of your legacy to support the Service as a whole or directly to one their helicopter bases in Newcastle, Tamworth or Lismore that support your local community.
A gift to the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service will provide support for our future generations and those in need. You will help the person in a motor vehicle or farming accident, the critically ill patient requiring life-saving treatment, the baby requiring emergency specialist care and the swimmer in distress off our coast line.
In an ultimate act of generosity, your gift will be the lifeline that keeps on giving back to our community. It doesn’t have to be a large gift, with people from all backgrounds choosing to give a gift in their Will to help save lives.
We take great pride in assuring our donors that all funds raised in a region directly support the ongoing operation of our emergency service within that community. Donors may wish to allocate their bequest to a particular helicopter base (Newcastle, Tamworth or Lismore) or alternatively provide for use for the Service’s general purposes.
Please know, you are under no obligation to inform us of your decision to include a bequest to our Service. However, should you wish too, we would welcome the opportunity to acknowledge and thank you for your support. If granted the opportunity, we would love for you and your family to visit one of our bases to see firsthand how your gift will make a lasting difference.
Our promise to those who leave a gift:
- We understand your family and loved ones come first
- We will respect your wishes and privacy at all times
- You have the right to choose how your gift will be used
- Your gift will be used carefully and cost-effectively
- Your gift will be treated with sensitivity and respect
- We will thank you and remember your generous support
