Life Flight's Rescue Community Helicopters Are Essentially Flying Intensive Care Units!

LifeFlight's rescue community helicopters are essentially flying intensive care units!

Helicopters fly with specialist Doctors and Paramedics trained in the delivery of critical care and state-of-the-art aeromedical medicine - all of which comes at a cost. Our choppers are standing by, ready to respond. Now we need you.
Funds raised help provide the highest standard of care for your community. Your support will help us save lives and provide critical aeromedical care to those Queenslanders who need it most.

LifeFlight’s rapid-response fleet of medically equipped helicopters and jets provide emergency medicine and protection where others can’t. The purpose has always been the same – to save lives and support people living in, and visiting, Queensland during their time of need. This purpose is at the core of everything LifeFlight does.

Operating in often challenging environments where on-the-ground medical treatment can be 100 kilometres or more away, LifeFlight helicopters have helped more than 90,000 people over four decades, delivering rapid response critical care: from responding to motor vehicle accidents and patient retrievals from ships at sea to neo-natal and cardiac hospital transfers.

Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime

The need for LifeFlight is always urgent, and your support is essential. The money raised through LifeFlight Lotteries will help us provide the highest standard of care for your community. The doctors and paramedics provide lifesaving medical care in the most challenging of environments – up to 6,000ft above sea level!

Every day, our crews treat seriously ill and critically injured patients, while providing rapid-response airlifts to hospitals around the state.

Your support is at the heart of everything LifeFlight does

  • Providing regular training for the highly skilled crews,
  • Servicing and fueling the fleet of cutting-edge aircraft,
  • Purchasing advanced medical equipment and safety gear, and
