He has bite marks and puncture wounds to his left leg, left arm, base of the neck and shoulder, and lacerations on the back of his head.
The attending paramedic said he was lucky there was only one dingo and not a pack.
He is now at Bundaberg Hospital.
Fraser Island has a history of dingo attacks, with authorities increasing on-the-spot fines for interfering with the dogs in 2019.
