For more than forty years, we have operated RACQ LifeFlight Rescue - Queensland’s leading community helicopter rescue service delivering emergency response, critical medical care and hospital airlifts to seriously ill and injured people. The service has flown more than 62,000 missions and provides Queenslanders with the assurance emergency medical care is available 24/7, 365 days a year, no matter where you live.

RACQ LifeFlight Rescue also operates an advanced fleet of fixed-wing Air Ambulance jets, to help patients in need of urgent medical care right throughout Australia and around the world. 

The rescue and retrieval service is bolstered by LifeFlight’s seamlessly coordinated suite of aviation and medical capabilities. LifeFlight’s Retrieval Medicine, Training Academy, Coordination Centre, Air Ambulance Repatriation and Engineering and Maintenance capabilities are integral to LifeFlight’s success in providing aeromedical services at home and internationally.

The organisation is home to a globally recognised training academy that provides thousands of aviation and medical professionals with world-class training annually.
