About the RFDS
The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) is one of Australia’s most trusted and essential care providers, delivering world‑class primary health services and 24/7 emergency medical response to people living, working, and travelling across the nation’s most remote regions.
As a not‑for‑profit organisation, the Flying Doctor depends on the generosity of supporters to ensure its aircraft, clinicians, and crews can reach those who need help — no matter how far away they are.
The Scale of the Mission
-
27 million kilometres flown last year
-
775 patient contacts every single day
-
67 aircraft in active service
-
A lifesaving service that helps someone every two minutes
Keeping a nationwide aeromedical network running is resource‑intensive — but without it, thousands of Australians would face dangerous delays or complete barriers to critical care.
Why Your Support Matters
The Flying Doctor is often the only lifeline for people whose access to healthcare is limited by distance, isolation, or circumstance. Your support helps ensure Aussies in the bush receive the same chance at care as those in the cities.
​
“If The Flying Doctor wasn’t there and I couldn’t get the specialist medical treatment I needed, my children wouldn’t have a mum.”
