Join in the fun and raise funds for your region’s rescuers!
Rescue Chopper Week runs from October 17th - 23rd and allows RACQ CQ Rescue to engage directly with schools, community groups and clubs about the importance of our rescue helicopter service in this region and ways in which they can help keep our service up in the air and saving lives.
Every school or club that registers will have the opportunity to be visited by CQ Rescue, to hear firsthand about our work across Central and Northern Queensland. One lucky school or club will win a helicopter landing on their school oval or suitable grounds during Rescue Chopper Week, where students will be able to meet the crew and take a closer look at our helicopter.
There are also some great ways that the community can also get on board to win prizes. Check out the competition levels and download your competition entry form below for your chance to win.
