OUR MISSION
Providing our community and stakeholders with a sustainable and supported, world-class aeromedical and emergency helicopter rescue service 24/7, 365 days of the year.

CQ Rescue Health Services is an umbrella organisation of Central Queensland Helicopter Rescue Service Ltd and all proceeds from our drug and alcohol testing service, as well as health screening, are used to fund the region’s rescue helicopter. The service was established in 2010 and has since fostered very strong partnerships with businesses throughout Mackay, the Whitsundays and Bowen Basin.
“It is safe to say of almost all missions flown, none of our patients ever thought they would need our service but then again, who can predict what the future holds and whether you, your family or employees will one day need to be rescued.”
Providing our community and stakeholders with a sustainable and supported, world-class aeromedical and emergency helicopter rescue service 24/7, 365 days of the year.
To continue and advance the delivery of life-saving aeromedical and emergency helicopter rescue services to the people of Central Queensland.
