NATSAR Council strategic plan

Saving lives together

Our strategic plan sets the direction for Australia's national search and rescue system for 2026-2031. 

It outlines the Council's vision, mission and strategic objectives to: 

  • strengthen national coordination 
  • support capability development 
  • prepare for future challenges and opportunities. 

This plan is released as we mark 50 years of national search and rescue cooperation in Australia. 

It builds on a strong legacy of partnership and reflects a shared commitment to a nationally unified search and rescue system.
