Woman attacked by bull on Queensland property

Woman Attacked by Bull on Queensland Property

A woman has been flown to hospital by the LifeFlight Surat Gas Aeromedical Service (SGAS) helicopter after being attacked by a bull at a Queensland property on Friday afternoon. She was charged by the animal before rescue crews arrived on scene.

The rescue chopper was tasked to the Western Downs region at about 4.30pm. Queensland's rural properties often place workers and residents in close proximity to livestock, making incidents like this a recurring safety concern across the region.

The woman, in her 60s, sustained chest injuries consistent with being trampled and gored before paramedics stabilised her at the scene. She received on-site treatment for her injuries prior to transport.

Following initial treatment, the LifeFlight helicopter airlifted the injured woman to Toowoomba Hospital for further care. LifeFlight confirmed the patient was transported in a stable condition, a detail welcomed by her family and local community.

This bull attack highlights ongoing health and safety risks tied to livestock handling on rural Queensland properties. Similar cases have been reported in previous news covering woman hospitalised incidents involving bulls, underscoring a pattern that safety professionals across Australia should note.

Related Rural Safety Incidents

Bull attacks aren't the only hazard facing those who live and work on Queensland properties. Other recent news stories include a woman hospitalised after a mustering horse fall and another case where a woman was flown to hospital after falling from a horse on a separate property.

These incidents, alongside broader agricultural news, point to the value of robust health and safety management systems for anyone operating in livestock-heavy environments. Property owners can strengthen their approach with resources such as the Property Services Pack HSWMS, designed to support safer rural operations.

As this news continues to develop, further updates from LifeFlight and local authorities are expected. Community members are encouraged to remain vigilant when working around livestock, particularly bulls, given their unpredictable temperament.
