Bush Search and Rescue Victoria is a dedicated volunteer search and rescue group active in the state of Victoria, Australia and is a division of Bushwalking Victoria Inc. Bush Search and Rescue participates in land-based search and rescue activities for persons lost in the bush, in conjunction with and under direction from the Victoria Police Search and Rescue Squad. The group was formed in 1949 when several volunteer bushwalkers were involved in an extended search at Wilson's Promontory.

The King River search was on December 9, 2007.
