Sunshine Coast and South Burnett residents can expect to see a lot of Amy Agius around as she gets stuck into her role as LifeFlight’s new community engagement lead.
Prior to joining LifeFlight, Amy worked for a health promotion charity for seven years, raising funds and awareness for healthcare initiatives.
Her passion and dedication for helping people led her to pursue a role with LifeFlight.
“I’ve come from an organisation with similar goals, and I saw the opportunity to work with LifeFlight as a natural next step in my career, enabling me to contribute meaningfully to the local community,” Amy said.
Amy has hit the ground running, lining up a number of speaking engagements at community events from Tansey to Toogoolawah.
“I’m presenting to community groups like the Caloundra Rotary Club, the Tewantin Noosa Probus Club and I’m heading to the Toogoolawah State High School for a Careers Day Expo,” she said.
“I’ll be heading out to Tansey as well for a bowls fundraising event and attending the Kawana Chamber of Commerce for Christmas in July.
“I’m looking forward to meeting people that are new to LifeFlight and are interested in learning about ways to support and get involved. I’m also very eager to meet all the current supporters who have been with LifeFlight for many years. I’m excited to build on these connections.
“Fostering a strong sense of community is very important and it’s so inspiring and a privilege to be part of.”
She also attended the 2025 Sunshine Coast LifeFlight gala in March and got a first-hand look at the generosity of LifeFlight’s supporters, with a record breaking $292,095 raised.
Amy’s role comes with many opportunities that makes working with LifeFlight so unique.
One of them includes an up close and personal look at the Sunshine Coast-based LifeFlight helicopter.
“It was like going back to being an excited five-year-old for a moment. It was a very nostalgic experience. We see and hear them flying over our homes and across the beach all the time and sometimes wonder what mission they’re about to embark on,” she said.
“Now I have a true understanding of these missions and have a newfound respect for the work that LifeFlight does. Whenever I see or hear a helicopter in the sky, I hold much more appreciation for the work of our crews.
“LifeFlight’s work is so important, and when we unite as a community, our collective impact can be truly transformative.”
