It is that time of year again – the National Search and Rescue (NATSAR) Council is welcoming nominations for the 2018 Australian Search and Rescue Award.

The successful nominee(s) will have made a significant contribution to Australia's Search and Rescue ability or to the saving of a human life. The award is open to any individual, group or organisation and may relate to a particular event or a sustained contribution over a period of time.

We are aiming for another year of strong nominations that represent the full spectrum of activity across the SAR system, both professional and non-professional search and rescue efforts. So please feel free to circulate this email through your respective channels.
