NSW VRA has a rich history of serving communities across the state since its formation in 1969, during which time it has earned a reputable name among fellow emergency services. Fast-forward five decades and the NSW VRA comprises of 56 squads and over 1600 professional volunteers who continue to value the same principle of protect, preserve and save human life and properties. Ongoing funding by generous communities and the NSW Government has allowed the VRA to maintain training programs, learn skills and share knowledge on state-of-the-art equipment and meet the high standard required for accreditation for all rescue agencies in NSW. It is this determination which has allowed the NSW VRA to become a primary respondent to emergencies, as well as offering assistance to NSW Rural Fire Service, NSW State Emergency Services, NSW Police, NSW Ambulance, and Fire Rescue NSW.
