The best of training combines theory and practical with expert trainers, and when it comes to the very technical role of helicopter rescue crew members, training setups that mimic real life challenges, including winch operations, are hard to come by.
That’s where Public Safety Training & Response Group has an advantage over some other training providers.
The Group specialises in public safety and emergency response, and it puts considerable focus and dedication into preparing those who undertake their accredited courses.
“Helicopter rescue crew courses necessarily include a great deal of theory, but with any vocation requiring physical abilities, the courses also include a significant amount of practical learning requirements, and that’s where the training facilities and equipment plays an important part,” says Trevor Arnold, Manager Operations at Public Safety Training & Response Group.
“The facilities at our Oxley headquarters help support all aspects of our courses – theory and practical – to make sure those who complete the training have ‘real experiences’ and are very well prepared for the demands of any such roles in the real world.”
Public Safety Training & Response Group’s headquarters encompasses facilities that not only include purpose-built training rooms, but it also features a full-size helicopter and winch – raised two storeys from the ground – providing ideal conditions to learn and finetune emergency patient winching techniques.
It’s the closest thing possible to the real thing. Our training imbeds procedures and muscle memory to give participants the best possible chance to complete the practical flying components.
These facilities are paramount to ensuring high-level training for those aspiring to undertake the group’s aviation courses so as to gain skills that can lead to accreditation in helicopter rescue crewing (Certificate III and IV in Aviation).

The facilities assist in developing the wide array of unique skills required by helicopter rescue crew members, from rescue operations such as hoisting, casualty retrieval and providing first aid, through to operational tasks such as refuelling, cargo loading, maintaining situational awareness, managing the general safety of the rotary aircraft and its passengers, and much more.
The Public Safety Training & Response Group head office at Oxley, Brisbane, includes fully equipped incident control room, a media/TV recording and live-streaming studio, the helicopter rescue crew training hardware, and support offices and facilities. And plenty of convenient free parking.
The headquarters also houses a helicopter flight simulator, enabling pilots-in-training to repeatedly ‘fly’ in many varying conditions, safely and cost effectively.
On top of that, all courses are delivered by expert trainers, including ex-military and emergency services personnel, delivering training you can trust.
“We are focused on delivering the highest-level training, and we value the experience of our trainers who have learned with the best, have unique skills that can only be developed out in the field, and are ideal to pass their knowledge on to those doing the courses,” Mr Arnold said.
Those wishing to sign up to the group’s aviation courses are encouraged to contact Public Safety Training & Response Group now.
