Child Flight was an Australian helicopter service dedicated to the emergency transport of sick children. It operated two twin-engined instrument-flight rated helicopters. As a not-for-profit organisation, the service relied on community support and corporate sponsorship to complement a government operating grant.
The service was located at the Newborn and paediatric Emergency Transport Service (NETS) statewide base at Westmead in Sydney. It was the preferred helicopter transport vehicle for NETS, the emergency medical transport service for newborns, infants and children. The service employed ten pilots, an aircraft maintenance engineer and fundraising and office staff.[1]
