Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter Service Queensland

Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter Service Queensland Operating in Queensland since 1976, the WLRHS provides vital patrol, search and rescue services both on and off the beach.

The WLRHS remains a vital asset to SLSQ's services in South East Queensland. Today, it is a full-time service operating 365 days a year, providing coastal surveillance and search and rescue. Importantly, SLSQ continues to extend and expand upon the service's rescue and surveillance capacity which, in turn, boosts our ability to assist other agencies such as Emergency Management Queensland and national search and rescue body Australian Maritime Safety Authority.

Just another day in the office for the crew, running through winch drills and training above the coastline.

A successful outcome at Mount Cougal last week, with our crew assisting in the rescue of a lost hiker.

The individual was incredibly grateful to be back home safe, thanks to the efforts of our pilot and crew. 🚁

Throwback to 1973 🚁

A lot has changed since these early days of our helicopter service - from the aircraft and equipment to the technology and operations behind every mission.

But one thing has stayed the same: crews committed to keeping people safe along our coastline.

Name a better looking aircraft… we’ll wait 🤔
