Injured walker
A woman walking with her partner had slipped, injuring her shoulder and hip and was unable to continue. The assistance of Penrith MRT was requested because of low availability of Team Members. Due to the potential seriousness of a hip injury, NWAS requested the assistance of GNAAS.
The helicopter was able to land close to the scene and treat the casualty before either Team arrived. The casualty was flown to CIC for further treatment.
