It is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic passing of our leader, colleague, and friend.
Beyond his role within our organisation, he was a deeply valued part of our team, a steady presence, a source of guidance, and someone who genuinely cared for his family, team and the people around him. Many of you had the privilege of knowing him not just as a pilot, but as a good mate, and his loss is being felt deeply across our entire team.

Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
We recognise that this news will affect everyone differently. Please take the time you need to process, support one another, and look after yourselves. Over the coming days, we ask for patience and understanding as we come together as a team and navigate this loss.

We will reach out to our clients and return all communications as soon as we are able.
Please note that any text messages sent to the work phone (0400 331 515) will not be received until further notice, however any calls to this work number will be forwarded to one of the team.

Thank you for your compassion and understanding during this time.

2025 MAJOR SPONSOR- 3 RIVERS HELICOPTERS

As a locally owned and operated business, 3RH is 100% committed to providing safe, reliable, and professional helicopter services tailored to the needs of our clients.

3RH has been proudly operating in the Tambo region for approximately 20 years. The business was named in recognition of the three rivers where helicopters were originally based — the Barcoo, Thompson and Wilson Rivers.

In July 2016, Brian & Tenille Philp took over ownership of 3RH, continuing the business’s long-standing relationship with the Tambo Polocrosse Club. They are proud to be recognised as major sponsors and have our logo on the Tambo’s team shirts.

Today, 3 Rivers Helicopters specialises primarily in aerial stock mustering. With a fleet of five R22 helicopters, no job is too big or too small. We can easily accommodate large properties and expansive paddocks by mustering with multiple helicopters simultaneously. Our multi-helicopter operation also ensures no downtime for our clients during scheduled maintenance, offering maximum reliability and flexibility.

At 3RH, we take pride in our team of highly skilled pilots who adapt to each property’s unique mustering style and operational requirements. Their experience, adaptability, and dedication consistently deliver safe, efficient, and effective results.
In addition to mustering, our R44 helicopter enables us to offer a range of additional services, including sling operations, feral animal control, property inspections, and aerial surveillance.

Team 3RH will be taking a break from 23 December. Flying will resume Monday 6 January 2025.

Wishing you a Christmas filled with festive cheer!
