AustraliaA state parliamentary inquiry in New South Wales has recommended that the government review contracts with Northern NSW Helicopter Rescue Services (NNSWHRS) due to allegations of poor workplace safety and toxic culture. The inquiry, prompted by incidents at Calvary Mater Hospital, found evidence of bullying, psychological abuse, and non-compliance with safety protocols. It criticized the use of non-disclosure agreements that suppressed whistleblowers and hindered transparency.

The current contract between NNSWHRS and NSW Ambulance, which began in 2017, is set to expire in May 2025.
