Welcome to NQ Rescue!

The North Queensland Helicopter Rescue Service (NQ Rescue) is a not for profit charity established in Mount Isa in early 2007. The charter of the organisation is to provide a full time dedicated community rescue helicopter service for the people of the North West.
The NQ Rescue Helicopter brings a “flying hospital” to people in need – at the side of the road after a motor vehicle accident, at the workplace after an industrial accident, or in a remote area where a sick or injured person desperately needs to be airlifted to the specialised care and treatment of a hospital.
The service provided by the helicopter significantly enhances the existing services by offering a highly specialised emergency medical response service for the critically ill and injured. The NQ Rescue helicopter works hand in hand with the Royal Flying Doctor Service, Queensland Police Service, Queensland Fire and Rescue Service and other agencies
The NQ Rescue Helicopter not only offers highly specialised medical services but also assistance to local government in times of natural disasters, a dedicated helicopter platform to support urgent and non urgent Police taskings and an aerial response for the Queensland Fire & Rescue for remote vehicle accidents and fire operations.
Although each mission will carry a significant cost, the service will be provided at no cost to the patient and is regarded as a boost for rural health, medical and emergency services in the region.
