Saving lives since 1979, our not-for-profit organisation has proudly delivered emergency and critical care for 45 years, responding when every second counts.

Through support, advocacy and continuous hard work, we continue to expand our reach and impact.

At LifeFlight, we’re committed to shaping the future of emergency aeromedicine and rescue. Our fleet includes fully equipped air ambulance jets and rescue helicopters that operate like flying intensive care units and are crewed by the best medical staff.
