Toll SouthCare Rescue Helicopter 202 was tasked to Tathra at 9.40am to assist in the retrieval of the man, who is believed to be a visitor from Melbourne.
He was reportedly washed off the rocks and injured his leg.
A Toll spokeswoman said the man was winched safely aboard and then flown to Canberra Hospital for treatment.
The rescue comes just days after a rock fisherman narrowly escaped drowning after being washed from rocks near Batemans Bay on June 12 in hazardous sea conditions.
