Searching for, and rescuing people is a complex, often difficult task that occurs in all kinds of weather and usually in demanding locations. The people who work or volunteer their time and skills in this area, and those that support them, often receive little public recognition for the feats they achieve and the sustained effort they put in to accomplish these tasks. In recognition of this, the New Zealand Search and Rescue (NZSAR) Council has established an annual national award programme to acknowledge worthy achievements in the field of search and rescue in the New Zealand Search and Rescue Region. The NZSAR Awards are intended to give formal and public recognition to those involved in SAR in New Zealand. They also raise community awareness about the efforts of volunteers and paid personnel in the SAR sector and celebrate their success.The NZSAR Awards are judged by the NZSAR Council, and presented at an annual NZSAR Awards ceremony at Parliament.
