IPSS Search and Rescue – To Rescue and reunite families
What started out as a passion project many years ago to service our community has grown into a registered NPO with over 40 volunteers in 2023.
This has been an incredible journey, filled with both the happiness of reuniting families and the devastation left behind with the only hope to bring closure to families.
None of this would have been possible with the incredible people and businesses that make this possible:
Killarney Toyota Stanger – sponsoring a Toyora Landcruiser, providing our teams with a vehicle to tackle the often tough terrain encountered
PACSys – always willing to send a pilot and drone, thermal imaging has proved instrumental in finding many missing children in 2023
Seaton – sponsoring of wetsuits for aquatic teams, often long wet hours in the search of victims in the water is impossible without the right gear
Buckenham 4×4 – for kitting out a new landcruiser to allow all gear to be safely packed and stored
TOTAL UMHALI – providing IPSS S&R with a home and fueling of vehicles
Sables creatures – an incredible organistion themselves, have sponsored crates to safely transport animals of all types of snack packs for our Christmas drive and assistance when trapping terrified, lost pets

To our volunteers, for always being willing to give of your time, to serve our community and those in need. These are the people who, at short notice, even on Christmas day, will be ready to assist families, whole communities, and animals in any way possible. These are the absolute heroes of IPSS S&R, who, no matter what, are willing to serve, without complaint at any time of the day or night.
