Saving Queensland Lives Since 1979
RACQ LifeFlight Rescue has been Queensland’s leading community helicopter service for the past 40 years.
Patient Story – Artie Alley
“The doctor took one look at him and knew that something was a little bit off, but then to my surprise, they said they had called the chopper”
Patient Story – Maddox Porter
“If they didn’t come that day, Maddox wouldn’t have a hand. It’s as simple as that. I will support them forever”
A Day in the Life – Helicopter Co-Pilot
“The best part of my job is flying, and what we get to do when we’re flying”
