The difference you'll make
Access to prompt, reliable healthcare is something that many of us take for granted. But for those living in rural and remote areas, it’s not always possible. In an emergency, time is critical: it’s the difference between life and death.
“The Royal Flying Doctor is the mantle of safety that keeps us here” “I’d have been buggered without the RFDS”
Thanks to supporters like you, the Royal Flying Doctor Service can travel further, respond quicker, and deliver essential primary healthcare to every Australian — no matter where they live.
