25.01.2022 These amazing humans made it to Everest Base camp to raise money for QAS Legacy! Thank you wonderful people for this amazing achievement. We hope you are all back home safely now after such a remarkable adventure! THANK YOU!!

24.01.2022 Today we remember Richard Rick Stone who sadly passed away on the 8th of March, 2018. Rick left behind a young family and was a dear friend to many. He is sorely missed. We are thinking of his family, friends and colleagues on this difficult day. QAS Legacy supports the families of serving officers who pass, which is only possible due to the QAS Legacy financial members, donations from Local Ambulance Committees and other generous donors. We could not support so many families without these generous members and extend our deepest thanks to all of you.

21.01.2022 We are saddened to hear of the passing of QAS West Moreton Officer Glenn Dudley, following a sudden medical event on the 28/05/2021. Glenn was a currently serving staff member and was well known both across the West Moreton LASN and the broader community, having worked for the QAS for over 16 years. Glenn touched the lives of many patients, peers and volunteers across the QAS and the community. His colleagues remember him as a funny and happy person who was a friend to so man...y. Glenn leaves behind three children and QAS Legacy Scheme is providing support at this time, including providing a platform to raise funds for his family. If you would like to make a donation to support Glenn’s family, please click the link below or donate directly via the Facebook link.

The funds will then be combined from both platforms. https://qaslegacy.org.au/donate/glenn-dudley Glenn was a current financial member of the QAS Legacy Scheme and the QAS Legacy Board extends their deepest sympathies to Glenn’s family, friends and colleagues at this very difficult time.

15.01.2022 Today we have been reflecting on the tragic loss of Ambulance Officer Douglas John Bill Birch, Intensive Care Flight Paramedic Craig Staines, Pilot Paddy O’Brien and their five year old patient Anthony Sherry alongside his mother Susan. The five unfortunately passed away in a horrible helicopter crash that occurred during bad weather outside Marlborough 20 years ago today. Our thoughts go out to their loved ones on this day and to everyone who was involved in the case and attended the scene. We have no doubt that this day has been difficult for many. Forever missed.

14.01.2022 Did you know that as a QAS staff member, you can set up an automatic payroll deduction which is also tax deductible. For just $10 per fortnight you could help the QAS Legacy Scheme Inc. continue to financially assist many families of ambulance officers who pass. A sincere thank you to those who already help us so that we can continue helping so many. https://qaslegacy.org.au/donate/payroll-contributions

13.01.2022 Thank you to Mary McCulloch, Craig’s Mother for allowing us to share this beautiful acknowledgment of Craig’s memory. Craig’s work colleagues, his Dad, his Uncle Tim and Aunt Marg ( the family he stayed with in Mackay) got together to celebrate Craig’s life on the first anniversary of his death. Craig’s work colleagues and Tim and Marg have dedicated a seat at the site of the accident that claimed his life. Rob and Kylie, the beautiful people who stayed with my son and did what they could to save him graciously allowed them to do this in front of their property. Thank you again Rob and KylieTo everyone.... Thank you for caring about my son! RIP Craig xo
