Today RACQ Capricorn Rescue welcomes industry leader Hastings Deering back on board for a further three years, following a previous one-year commitment from the company as a Lift Off Partner. The renewed sponsorship between the local Rockhampton branch and RACQ Capricorn Rescue will ensure that the service can continue to provide a world class, dedicated aerial search and rescue helicopter with full aeromedical and counter disaster capabilities in the Central Queensland region.
