We're fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service

Australia is a big country, and for those living in remote, rural and regional areas, access to immediate healthcare isn’t always guaranteed. For some communities, the nearest hospital can be eight hours away.

For 26 years, JCU Pharmacy has been helping address this challenge by educating and graduating pharmacists who go on to serve communities across northern Australia. Our graduates play an important role in bringing accessible, high-quality healthcare closer to the people who need it — continuing a proud JCU commitment to improving health outcomes across the North.

This October, the JCU Pharmacy department is taking that commitment one step further with a month-long fitness challenge to help more Australians access the care they need.

We’re going further to support the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) — an organisation that has been doing exactly that for generations, taking healthcare to people across some of the most remote parts of Australia.

Every year, the RFDS reaches more than 330,000 Australians with 24-hour emergency retrieval and primary healthcare services. That’s one person every two minutes.

Together, we can keep the Flying Doctor flying and help continue this life-saving work.

Please donate to our challenge today and help us go further for Australians who need access to care.
