BMA CQ Rescue has already flown 294 life-saving missions this year, highlighting the vital role the service plays in the region. As of Monday 26th, in just a week the rescue helicopter was called out 17 times, with more than half of those missions focused on the Whitsundays area.
The team responded five times to Bowen, once to Hamilton Island, and once to Collinsville. Other flights included four to Dysart, two each to Clermont and Moranbah, and one to Stanage Bay. A critical patient transfer was also conducted from Mackay to Townsville.
These figures are a timely reminder of how essential the service is for isolated communities needing urgent medical care. CQR’s swift response and regional reach continue to make a life-saving difference across Central and North Queensland.
