🚨🚒 New Rescue Truck Handover 🚒🚨 Today marked the official handover of a newly refurbished rescue truck to VRA Rescue NSW, thanks to the hard work of inmates from Hunter Correctional Facility in Cessnock. This vehicle will soon be placed in country NSW, where it will enable our dedicated volunteers to continue supporting and rescuing community members in their times of need. We were honoured to have special guests in attendance, including representatives from nswcorrections , Clayton Barr MP, Member for Cessnock, VRA Rescue NSW Commissioner, Brenton Charlton, and newly appointed VRA Rescue NSW Deputy Commissioner - Alix Thom. A huge thank you to everyone involved in bringing this project to life—your support ensures our volunteers have the tools they need to serve communities across NSW. #VRARescueNSW #CommunityFirst #RescueVolunteers Jihad Dib MP Chris Minns NSW Government NSW Department of Communities and Justice NSW Nationals (fb)

Last night, Wagga Wagga Rescue Squad - VRA Rescue NSW farewelled two outstanding young members as they move on to the next chapter in their journey. Although their time with us was short, the impact they made was lasting. Both Ryan and Jaxon were also recognised by the Australian Defence Force for their service to the community—an honour that truly reflects their dedication and commitment. To Ryan and Jaxon, thank you for the energy, the laughs, and the contribution you’ve made to our squad and our community. It’s been a privilege to have you on the team, and you’ll be deeply missed. We hope you look back on your time with us with as much pride as we have in you. This isn’t goodbye—it’s good luck. We wish you every success ahead and hope to see you again in the future. 💚💚 #VRARescue #WeAreRescue #ThankYou #GoodLuck VRA Rescue NSW Commissioner, Brenton Charlton Jihad Dib MP Chris Minns NSW Government Roy Butler MP Dugald Saunders MP (fb)
