NETS ~ Newborn & paediatric Emergency Transport Service is a statewide service of NSW Health. It is the only service of its kind in Australia; providing expert clinical advice, clinical co-ordination, emergency treatment and stabilisation and inter hospital transport for very sick babies and children up to the age of 16 years. It operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Our service offers peace of mind to a parent during a time of despair and disbelief that there could possibly be something wrong with their precious child.

NETS is a hospital with no walls!

NETS ensures no matter where someone lives, they can be assured that their baby or child will receive the same care as if living next to a children's hospital.

In addition, NETS offers an international service serving babies and children needing transport from countries across the world back to Australia.
