Emergency services were called to Melissa Street at Upper Coomera after reports a man had fallen "about three to four metres" from a warehouse down an embankment just after 3am.
High Acuity Response Unit paramedic Jaye Newton said paramedics had to climb down the steep embankment to reach the critically injured man who was in and out of consciousness.
"We then required assistance from the fire service to extricate him back out up to the waiting ambulance," he said.
It took almost an hour for emergency services to get the man out and into an ambulance.
The man, who 612 ABC reported was aged 23, had suffered a head injury and possible chest injury and was transported to Gold Coast University Hospital in a serious condition.
Mr Newton said it was understood the man had been trying to take a shortcut to get home when he fell.
