Richglen has proudly donated $31,000 to the region’s two emergency helicopter services, recognising their vital role in supporting workers who travel to and from remote mine sites across Central Queensland.
Through its matched giving program, Richglen employees contribute a portion of their pay to the life-saving services, with the company matching every dollar.
This year’s total donation includes $22,000 to CQ Rescue in Mackay and $9,000 to CapRescue in Rockhampton.
Managing Director Matt Borg said the services were a vital lifeline for Richglen’s workforce.
“For our workforce – whether driving long distances or working on isolated sites – CQ Rescue and CapRescue provide a safety net we hope we never need, but are grateful to have,” he said.
“Their crews are often responding to emergencies in remote locations where time and access matter most.
“It’s great to know they have our back when we’re out bush.
“As Richglen’s workforce grows, so too does its capacity to give.
“The company looks forward to continuing its support in the years ahead, helping to keep these helicopters in the air for the benefit of the entire region.”
