About Us

Heli Aust Australia’s story began in 1976 with the founding of Heli-Muster, a company dedicated to aerial mustering in the Northern Territory.

From these humble beginnings, the business rapidly expanded across Australia, establishing operational bases in the Northern Territory, Western Australia, and Queensland. As demand grew, Heli Aust was formed to lead the turbine division at Bankstown Airport, further strengthening the company’s capabilities with dedicated maintenance workshops and a comprehensive spare parts network.

By the mid-1980s, Heli Muster operated a fleet of over 70 aircraft, with more than 365,000 flight hours to its name. Over three decades, Heli Aust earned a reputation as a market leader in helicopter operations, renowned for its commitment to safety, professionalism and reliable service.

Today, Heli Aust Australia continues this proud legacy, focusing on the supply of specialist firefighting aircraft, both fixed-wing and helicopter, supported by expert maintenance and spare parts to deliver end-to-end aviation solutions.

Heli Aust Australia has built a proud and proven reputation as a trusted partner in bushfire response across the eastern states for many years. As pioneers in fire-related helicopter operations since their early adoption in fire management, we’ve worked closely with industry partners and emergency services to develop practical, effective aerial firefighting solutions. With more than 35,000 flight hours dedicated solely to bushfire control, Heli Aust is one of Australia’s most experienced and reliable providers of helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, and specialist firefighting equipment.

Our operational strength lies in our capacity to deploy at scale, rapidly mobilising up to 19 helicopters when called upon, backed by highly skilled pilots, many of whom bring international firefighting experience from seasons in Canada. Every pilot undergoes rigorous annual training to ensure readiness, skill, and safety in the most challenging conditions.

Supporting our pilots is a dedicated team of engineers who work tirelessly behind the scenes to maintain aircraft availability. With 24-hour maintenance coverage, we conduct overnight inspections and servicing to ensure all aircraft are operational during daylight hours. We also provide rapid-response field maintenance, flying parts and engineers directly to aircraft in remote locations to prevent downtime and keep firefighting efforts moving.

Our fleet of helicopters is available for a wide range of specialist operations, from firefighting and emergency response to aerial surveying and utility work. Backed by experienced pilots and comprehensive maintenance support, we provide dependable, mission-ready aircraft tailored to your specific operational needs.

Heli Aust Australia supplies reliable fixed-wing aircraft for projects requiring endurance, precision and flexibility. Whether for logistics, aerial observation, or fire management, our aircraft are maintained to the highest standards and ready to perform in even the most challenging environments.
