Jump aboard, have some fun and raise funds!

Proudly presented by

Here’s the chance for your school to win a helicopter landing and visit from the RACQ CQ Rescue crew! You can also score a host of great prizes by entering our colouring and short story competitions during Rescue Chopper Week, from October 16 to 20.

Rescue Chopper Week 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.

Just by registering to hold a small fundraiser, such as a sausage sizzle, free dress or crazy hair day during Rescue Chopper Week, one lucky school will win a helicopter landing on their school oval and 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 during Rescue Chopper Week.

Check out the competition levels and download your competition entry form below for your chance to win.
