About Project Rescue

Everyone should be able
to save a life

We give everyday Australians the skills and confidence to help themselves, their families and their community when it matters most — and we make that training free.

Why we exist

The first responder is usually you

When something goes wrong — a cardiac arrest, a car crash, a flood, a fire — the professionals are minutes away. In those minutes, the person who makes the difference is whoever is standing there. A neighbour. A parent. A bystander.

Project Rescue exists to make sure that person knows what to do. We create short, practical courses that teach real life-saving and crisis skills — and we give them away free, so cost is never the reason someone didn't know how to help.

It's a simple idea: the more people who know what to do, the more lives get saved. That's the whole mission.

Backed by real capability

Not just a good idea — a serious operation

Project Rescue is a community initiative of the PSTR Group — a veteran-owned network of emergency response, aviation and training companies. This isn't people talking about rescue. It's people who do it for real.

One Response

Veteran-owned emergency response across air, ground and water.

Multisec Training

Our RTO partner, delivering nationally recognised accredited courses.

SM Helicopters

Aviation support and aerial capability for real-world response.

The Peak Inc.

Specialist training partner extending our reach and expertise.

Project Rescue is a community initiative — not a registered charity. It's funded by our community of backers and the PSTR Group network.

Real people. Real equipment.

The capability behind the courses

Our courses aren't theory from a textbook. They come from people who train, respond and operate in the real world — across the air, on the ground and in the water.

What we stand for

Our values

Community first

Everything we do is built to help ordinary people, in ordinary places, do extraordinary things.

Real skills, not theory

Practical, hands-on knowledge you can actually use when it counts — not box-ticking.

Free & accessible

Cost should never be the reason someone didn't know how to help. Our courses stay free.

Transparent

We show where the money goes and what your backing achieves. No smoke, no mirrors.

Need an accredited qualification?

Project Rescue courses are free, educational skills courses — they're not nationally recognised accredited training. If you need a formal, accredited qualification, our RTO partner Multisec Training delivers the real thing.
