The crew was called into action around 2pm Friday.
They flew to the scene, in the Mount Isa region, where Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics were already treating the patient.
The chopper was called in because the terrain near the scene was too rough for the patient to travel by ambulance.
The man, aged in his 20s, was loaded into the helicopter and flown to Mount Isa Hospital.
He travelled in a serious but stable condition.
