What does Penrith Mountain Rescue Team do?

Penrith Mountain Rescue Team is entirely made up of unpaid volunteers who are on call 24/7 365 days a year, to help rescue and save the lives of those in need in and around our patch. Predominantly funded by the generosity of the public, all members are willing to respond to a callout at a moments notice on any day of the year and in any weather condition. The team commit to a rigorous training program throughout the year, covering casualty care, off-road driving, radio communications, search management, water rescue and rope training, so that when these skills are needed, we are prepared for all eventualities.
