Coonabarabran Rescue Squad Incorporated
Coonabarabran Rescue Squad Incorporated is a volunteer-run emergency services organisation based in Coonabarabran, New South Wales, Australia. Operating under ABN 29 848 546 257, it serves as the primary rescue unit for the local area, providing emergency response capabilities for incidents such as road crashes, general land rescues, and vertical rescues[1][2].

The squad is affiliated with VRA Rescue NSW, a state-wide volunteer rescue network established in 1969 that coordinates 45 squads across New South Wales[5]. As part of this network, Coonabarabran Rescue Squad participates in joint operations and training programs to maintain proficiency in technical rescue disciplines.

While specific founding details are not publicly documented, the organisation has been active since at least 2000, with historical records indicating its operational status from 1 July 2000 onward[3]. Its volunteers collaborate with agencies such as the Rapid Relief Team Australia during community engagements and disaster response efforts[4].

Coonabarabran Rescue Squad exemplifies the community-based rescue model prevalent in regional Australia, relying on trained volunteers to deliver emergency services in coordination with police, fire, and ambulance networks[2][5].
