A Sunshine Coast-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew was called to the Noosa region at 11.55am on Saturday, after the man in his 40s had fallen.

LifeFlight stated that a multi-agency response included the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS), Queensland Fire Department (QFD), Queensland Police Service (QPS) and Surf Life Saving Queensland (SLSQ).

Once stabilised, he was stretcher-winched into the aircraft, before being flown to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.
