You are reading this handbook because the doctor caring for your child has asked that your child be transferred to a hospital with specialised facilities.

The NSW newborn and paediatric Emergency Transport Service (NETS) is a specialised intensive care transport service for sick babies and children.  

The expert NETS teams bring special mobile intensive care equipment to sick babies and children before they are transferred to a specialist facility or hospital.

Your treating doctor will tell you why they are calling NETS for your child and they will request your informed consent. 

Over 245 hospitals and facilities call on NETS for advice about acute transport of patients between hospitals.
