Tying a ribbon on 2024 - RACQ's year in review
Take a look back and reflect on RACQ’s milestones from the past 12 months.
In RACQ’s 119th year we continued to serve, support and advocate on behalf of our 1.7 million members.
While the year brought important advocacy and community achievements for RACQ it also saw Queenslanders face ongoing challenges.
Despite this, our team’s hard work and dedication to serving our members remained steadfast.
As 2024 draws to a close, we look back on the year that was.
