CareFlight Rescue (CFR) is a division of the CareFlight Group, Australia’s largest air-medical retrieval operation, carrying out more than 3000 domestic and international rescues each year.
CFR is a not-for-profit and charitable organisation which operates the group's rescue helicopters. With a response time of as little as six minutes, its dedicated pilots and aircrew operate a fleet of helicopters including a Bell 412, Bell 230 and AS350BA Squirrel. With a critical care doctor and QAS paramedic on board for every mission, CFR is CareFlight's core business. Incredibly this service is provided to the communities of south east Queensland and northern NSW 24/7, at no cost to patients.
