Patient Rescue Club
Rescue Club
The Rescue Club was developed exclusively for those individuals who have been airlifted by RACQ CareFlight. They are invited to become part of our close knit CareFlight family. Members of the club are encouraged to meet with our rescue crew and look through the chopper that they have taken a ride in! As part of the Rescue Club past patients have the opportunity to get further involved with CareFlight and volunteer at events, help raise funds in their local area or share their rescue story with members of the community. Members to the Club receive an exclusive CareFlight Rescued Me tee shirt and wrist band that symbolises their unique position in CareFlight family.
