The recovery Billy Reeves had ahead of him after his truck rolled was more challenging than outsiders could imagine.

His severe traumatic brain injury, meant Billy spent 150 days in hospital. He faced, 100 grueling days in rehabilitation relearning everyday skills many of us take for granted.

Now back home with his family, Billy is looking forward to enjoying an ordinary life.

"Without LifeFlight I would not be here. I am extremely lucky to have survived it."

Our Sunny Coast-based crew had a busy few days rescuing people around the region.

On Saturday they winched a trail bike rider from dense forest inland from Teewah Beach after he crashed into a tree.

The man was treated for broken limbs and a head injury by our doctor and the QAS flight paramedic and flown to Sunshine Coast University Hospital for further treatment.

On Friday, the crew was called out to another crash, this time involving a male motorbike rider east of Kenilworth.

The patient was treated for significant lower leg injuries and airlifted to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital.

No matter where or when an incident occurs, our crews will be there to help.

Meet Alex! 👋

Alex is one of our Sunny Coast-based Rescue Crew Officers (RCO).

What motivated him to become an RCO was being able to provide enhanced care for patients and the community from having a background in the military and ambulance service.

All our RCOs go through intense training to prepare them for their demanding role.

Alex enjoys working in a multi-disciplinary small team and being able to learn new skills from other colleagues.

"Every member in the team is an expert at their individual craft and has something to value add into every situation we are faced with."

Keeping our AW139 ready to respond takes a dedicated team and plenty of attention to detail 🚁

Our helicopter undergoes daily maintenance checks, along with regular cleaning and washing, to ensure it remains in peak condition and ready to take to the skies when our community needs us.

Here’s our Bundy-based Rescue Crew Officer, Dan, giving the rotor blades a well-deserved wash!

It’s all part of keeping our aircraft safe, reliable and ready to go, 24/7 💙

Yesterday our Brisbane-based LifeFlight crew airlifted a child to hospital, after a Stradbroke Island campfire incident.

Our helicopter landed on the beach to drop the medical team, before moving to Point Lookout to wait for the patient.

Our critical care doctor and flight nurse worked alongside local paramedics to treat the young girl, who had burns to her feet.

The QAS team then drove the patient to the helicopter, and she was airlifted to Queensland Children's Hospital in a stable condition.
