Our 30 year celebration brings us together to reflect on our past and look toward the future of patient transport.

For thirty years COASTN nurses have helped to shape the development of patient transport, a field defined by skill, resilience and innovation. The Flight Nurses Association NZ was founded in 1996 and later became COASTN, but has always carried forward the same passion, purpose and commitment to excellence in aeromedical and road transport nursing.

With its central location in the North Island, Hamilton is an ideal place for us to gather. We look forward to welcoming you to the Waikato to mark this milestone with us, and take time to connect, learn and acknowledge the evolution of our field.
