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 duty paramedic said he was lucky there was only one dingo - and not a pack of the animals.
The duty paramedic, known only as Lee, also said the two-year-old boy had walked outside unsupervised when the attack happened.
'The (two-year-old male) child had managed somehow to get out of the house that the family was staying at while the other members of the family were in the house asleep,' he told the Courier Mail.
'He went for a little wander outside and was approached by one of the dingoes.'

The child is now at Bundaberg Hospital and is said to be in a stable condition.
The Queensland Department of Environment and Science confirmed it was aware of the incident.
'We will make decisions regarding the management of the dingo once we've been able to ID it and in collaboration with our important stakeholders - particularly the traditional owners, the Butchulla People,' a department spokesperson said.
Fraser Island has a history of dingo attacks, with authorities increasing on-the-spot fines for interfering with the wild dogs in 2019.
Guests and locals on Fraser Island are reminded to walk in groups and to never feed the animals.
