Welcome to NETS - Moving intensive care for kids

Established in 1979, NETS provides a mobile emergency service for babies and children across NSW and the ACT who need intensive care. The slogan 'Moving Intensive Care for Kids' reflects three characteristics of the service; rushing intensive care toward sick children, transporting a child receiving intensive care on the move and finally, a reference to the emotive impact of the process on families.

NETS is staffed by a dedicated team providing expert clinical advice, clinical co-ordination, stabilisation and emergency treatment and retrieval for very sick children; 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

May 8-10th 2009 Another successful 4WD4KIDS event raised much needed funds and awareness of NETS. Travelling through forest trails in the central coast hinterland brought participants spectular scenary, muddy tracks and strange wildlife. Next year's event starts on April 9th 2010; heading to the south coast of NSW.

March 5th 2009 At Humpty Dumpty's annual "Good Egg Lunch" NETS wish for a new ambulance was granted. This wish was selected as the chairman's project for the year but within a few minutes, a generous donor committed to the purchase and complete fit-out. Humpty is famous for the annual 'Balmoral Burn' which has raised over $7 million dollars since starting in 2001. This might be the world's shortest 'fun-run' at just 420 metres but it takes the puff out of most. We're just glad at NETS that this great charity has given "puff" to a new ambulance for NETS!
30th May 2008 Humpty hands over new NETS ambulance. At the Balmoral Burn dinner a crowd of 500 witnessed the hand-over of a $156,000 ambulance to NETS. Made possible by the generosity of two Humpty supporters; Man Investments and the Wilson Family, this latest ambulance was delivered and configured in record time and was in service early in June 2008.
5th May 2008 Health Minister Reba Meagher visits NETS to tour the facility, meet the staff and announce the '"SNaP" bed. SNaP is Statewide Neonatal and Paediatric bed; representing six additional nurses and equipment which can support the care of a NETS-transferred patient after admission to an intensive care unit. In times of high demand on the health system, this will permit a unit to accept a patient even if their own staff are fully committed to other patients and they would otherwise have had to say no.
