BMA becomes naming rights partner of CQ Rescue

BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) has become the new naming rights partner of CQ Rescue, marking only the second time in CQ Rescue’s history that a naming rights partnership has been granted.

Since 1996, BMA CQ Rescue has rescued, transferred and retrieved thousands of people.

As a community helicopter provider, BMA CQ Rescue is available to residents, workers and visitors across Central Queensland, between Townsville and Rockhampton.

BMA CQ Rescue general manager Lisa Martin welcomes the partnership that coincides with the first new helicopter arrival.

“BMA’s unwavering support has stood the test of time and has been instrumental in advancing our mission and making a positive impact in our community,” she said.

The hangar holds AW139 helicopters with five blades.

The interior of the helicopter is designed for the provision of patient care, with a stretcher, MD monitor, portable oxygen kit bag, IFT medical bag, internal oxygen ventilator and scoop stretcher on board.

BMA CQ Rescue chief executive Tim Healee is delighted to share the news.

“BMA has been a cornerstone of our support for many years, and this new chapter as our naming rights partner is a testament to the strength and depth of our relationship,” he said.

“This announcement marks a significant milestone in our shared commitment to saving lives and to serving the entire region with some of the best aeromedical service available.”
