DroneDog: Yes, I also came across that image (at YouTube link below with ATC recording apparently post the accident) while searching the net for the scheme of -VH-XKQ (aside from what is seen on news). But I am reasonably sure that isn't a photo of -XKQ, at least not in its current scheme. The image of that helicopter has been pasted onto a backdrop of the Gold Coast. The rotors are not turning else they wouldn't be drooping like that.
AustAirData explains that VH-XKQ (c/n: 4639) was previously registered PK-URR. At following link, there are several photos that are probably of it from February 2019 heading north along Queensland coast, possibly on its way to Indonesia?:

While there is another photo of PK-URR on the Twitter page of
Said Oemar, which does have light bands on its fuselage, that may well be another helicopter (c/n: 4060):
