Bush Search and Rescue has provided volunteer search and rescue services to the people of Victoria on over 100 occasions, usually in bush or alpine areas.
BSAR volunteers are often asked to participate in searches at short notice, in adverse weather conditions and in rough and extreme terrain.
BSAR has the ability to send out small self-sufficient search groups which can navigate accurately without landmarks and stay out overnight.
In the 90s, the organisation name transitioned to "Bushwalkers Search and Rescue".
In 2008, the organisation name Bush Search and Rescue Victoria was formally adopted.
