Community Partnerships

Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) has been an invaluable, long standing Principal Partner of the Royal Flying Doctor Service (Queensland Section) since November 2009. 

BAC's support has contributed towards medically fitting out aircraft and purchasing aeromedical equipment for the Brisbane Base RFDS team. 

In 2021, RFDS landed at the Brisbane Airport 3,335 times. These aeromedical flights are often the highest priority, carrying the most precious of cargo – premature babies to the Mater Hospital, children to the Queensland Children's Hospital and critical patients to tertiary hospitals across Brisbane.

Brisbane Airport has been a destination for hundreds of thousands of RFDS flights and since 1995 has been home to the RFDS Queensland Head Office. While there has always been a close working relationship between Brisbane Airport and the RFDS, this partnership takes the relationship to a new and exciting level.

RACQ LifeFlight Rescue has been Queensland’s leading community helicopter service for the past 40 years. 

Its iconic blue and yellow rescue helicopters - with critical care medical teams on board - have saved more than 50,000 local lives. 

As a not-for-profit organisation, RACQ LifeFlight Rescue relies on the generosity of the community to help fund its lifesaving missions. 

BAC is proud to provide support for this vital service that gives peace of mind to all Queenslanders.
