The rescue crew was sent to a Moreton Bay island shortly after 3pm on Saturday, where the pilot was able to land the chopper on a helipad near a resort on the island.
The aeromedical crew worked with Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics to stabilise the boy, who had suffered a suspected broken leg, before flying him to Queensland Children’s Hospital for further treatment.
