The main point of concern is that it exists at all --- it is a solution looking for a problem.

Many people who use/would have used this form of transport for such as dialysis, chemo treatment and similar vital but non-emergency treatment will forced to use other forms of transport ---- because places of treatment are few and far between, once you are beyond the major coastal and several inland cities.

Injury, suffering and death is no concern of CASA, as long as an aeroplane/helicopter is not involved.

But CASA will be happy to see the service severely contract or collapse ---- Because "safety is our first priority".

Tootle pip!!

PS: I hope you remember the CASA proposal, some time back, that any emergency services helicopters would only be able to land at certified or registered aerodromes --- and only if they had current NOTAMS and a TAF.
