Help us keep local heroes in the air
Last year, the RACQ Choppers and Rescue Network helped more than 6500 sick and injured patients in some of the remotest parts of our state. And they couldn’t have done it without you, our members.
We’re a mutual organisation, which means every decision we make is to benefit our members and their communities. That’s how we’ve been able to keep the RACQ Choppers in the air for over 25 years.
So whether the RACQ Choppers and Rescue Network are responding to medical emergencies on rural properties, attending car crashes, performing search and rescue missions or conducting inter-hospital patient transfers, your support is what makes that flight possible. That’s the difference your membership makes.
In FY22, the RACQ Choppers and Rescue Network:
- Flew close to 3000 missions across Queensland
- Spent 6,535 hours flying, undertaking an average of 8 missions per day
- Provided support to more than 240 motor vehicle accidents in Queensland
For more details on these statistics, see the For the Greater Good – FY22 Report.
We’re proud to sponsor three air rescue networks

Based in Rockhampton, RACQ Capricorn Rescue flew 462 missions in FY22.

Servicing an area four times the size of Tasmania, RACQ CQ Rescue completed 588 missions in 2021.

LifeFlight Rescue is a 24-hour flying intensive care unit fully equipped to retrieve patients from anywhere in Australia.
