CareFlight Calls to 02 8357 6793 - Legitimate Organisation, Unusual Call Patterns
Community reports for 02 8357 6793 (also written as 0283576793) show a mixed picture. Two contributors have confirmed that calls from this number are from CareFlight Australia, the emergency air transport charity. However, three other contributors report concerning call patterns including persistent contact with no voicemail left, silent calls, and unusual callback procedures that have raised suspicion despite the organisation's legitimate status.
The pattern suggests 02 8357 6793 may be associated with CareFlight's fundraising or supporter outreach efforts, but the frequency and callback request method have prompted contributors to blacklist the number or question whether it's genuinely CareFlight or a potential scam impersonating the charity.
What Contributors Have Experienced with 02 8357 6793
One contributor received an answered call from 02 8357 6793 and confirmed it was CareFlight Australia's emergency air transport service. Another answered call also confirmed CareFlight affiliation.
However, other contributors report significantly different experiences. One noted that 02 8357 6793 has called every weekday for three weeks without leaving voicemails. When this contributor called back, they report being told by someone claiming to be from CareFlight to leave their number to stop the calls - a response that struck them as suspicious and inconsistent with standard fundraising practices.
A separate contributor reported receiving a call from 02 8357 6793 that appeared as a silent call with no message, prompting them to blacklist the number immediately. Another contributor received a missed call from this number with no message left.
Call Patterns and Frequency
The most detailed report about 0283576793 describes calls occurring every weekday over a three-week period, with no voicemail left on any occasion. This repetitive, persistent pattern without attempted communication via message is unusual for legitimate charity outreach.
One report mentions a silent call from 02 8357 6793, where no voicemail or identification was provided. The combination of silent calls and persistent contact without message suggests either a dialling system issue or intentionally withholding caller information.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 02 8357 6793 actually CareFlight?
Two contributors have confirmed that calls from 02 8357 6793 (0283576793) are from CareFlight Australia, the legitimate emergency air transport charity. However, verify independently by contacting CareFlight directly on their official number rather than returning a call from 02 8357 6793, especially if you're unsure or uncomfortable with the contact pattern.
Why does 02 8357 6793 call without leaving a message?
One contributor reported calls from 0283576793 every weekday for three weeks with no voicemail left. Another reported a silent call from 02 8357 6793. This pattern could indicate a fundraising dialling system that doesn't trigger voicemail recording, but it's unusual for legitimate organisations and warrants verification by calling CareFlight's official contact details.
What should I do if 02 8357 6793 asks me to leave my number to stop calls?
One contributor reported that when they called back 0283576793, they were told by someone claiming to be from CareFlight to leave their number to stop the calls. This is not standard practice. Instead, contact CareFlight directly through their official website or call the number on their letterhead to confirm whether they have your details and request to be removed from their contact list.
Should I block 02 8357 6793?
If calls from 02 8357 6793 are infrequent and you've verified they're from CareFlight, blocking isn't necessary. However, if 0283576793 calls repeatedly without voicemail messages and makes you uncomfortable, you can block it or register your number with the Do Not Call Register at donotcall.gov.au to cease contact.
Could 02 8357 6793 be impersonating CareFlight?
While two contributors have confirmed legitimate CareFlight calls from 02 8357 6793, three others report unusual patterns including silent calls and a suspicious callback procedure. If you're uncertain, never provide personal or financial information during an unsolicited call. Always verify independently by contacting CareFlight's official channels, not the number from the incoming call.
How do I verify if 02 8357 6793 is really CareFlight before calling back?
Visit CareFlight's official website (careflight.org.au) to find their genuine contact number, or check letterhead or previous correspondence from the organisation. Call that number to confirm whether they have your details and why 0283576793 has been contacting you. Do not return calls to 02 8357 6793 unless you've independently verified the number.
