Who Is LifeFlight

LifeFlight Australia is a world leader in aeromedical care, with a core purpose to save lives and serve the community. Operating with an advanced fleet of helicopters and Air Ambulance jets, this vital rescue service provides the people of Queensland with the assurance that emergency medical care is available 24/7, 365 days a year, no matter where you live. 

First Minutes Matter

At the Visitor Experience, learn about our free First Minutes Matter trauma training program, which teaches you practical skills for time-critical medical situations while professional help is on the way. Patient outcomes are dramatically improved by actions taken in the first minutes after a trauma incident before emergency crews arrive. What you’ll learn in either the online course or an in-person workshop in your region could save a life or improve patient outcomes.

Support LifeFlight

We believe that every person in Queensland should have equal access to emergency, aeromedical care, at no cost. By supporting the work of LifeFlight, you are supporting our patients and helping to bring health equity to all communities, no matter how remote. There are many ways that you can help!

You’ve got questions, we’ve got the answers

What is the entry cost?

There is no entry fee for the LifeFlight Roma Visitor Experience!

Will I get to see the helicopter in the hangar?

As the LifeFlight crew and helicopter could be tasked on a mission to save lives at any time, we can’t guarantee that you will get to see the helicopter through the viewing window.

Is there a guided tour?

Currently, the Roma Visitor Experience is a self-guided tour where you can take your time to journey through the history and story of LifeFlight at your own pace.

Where are the rescue equipment exhibits?

In the Visitor Experience there is a meeting boardroom that houses the rescue equipment display. Please note, the doors to this room will on occasion be closed for private meetings. We apologise in advance if this exhibit can’t be viewed on the day of your visit.

When was LifeFlight established in Roma?

In 2011, the LifeFlight Surat Gas Aeromedical Service (SGAS) began flying from Roma, answering the call of the Maranoa community which was growing. Our team of doctors, paramedics, pilots and aviation professionals are available 24/7, 365 days a year.
