Our partnerships.

Westpac Rescue Helicopters.

New Zealand’s rescue helicopters save lives. Their highly trained crews respond to critical situations, and the most remote. We’ve proudly supported them since 1981.

We’re principal sponsor of the Auckland, Waikato, Wellington, and Canterbury rescue helicopter services. In addition, we’re an associate sponsor of the West Coast, Tauranga, Taupo and Palmerston North rescue helicopter services.

We provide people and funding to promote and manage the Westpac Chopper Appeal. This nationwide campaign aims to raise at least $1 million each year, and we support all New Zealand rescue helicopters through this appeal.
