Boaties pulled her aboard the vessel and administered first aid before she was transferred to a larger boat nearby and met by the Coast Guard.

She was then brought to Moreton Island where the LifeFlight helicopter was waiting.

The LifeFlight critical care doctor and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) flight paramedic treated the patient for significant leg injuries.

She was airlifted to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in a stable condition.
