Where Your Money Goes
The RFDS is a
not for profit, charitable organisation that
relies on funding from private donations, philanthropic grants, private trusts, events and community fundraising to provide more than $20 million a year to ensure our
life-saving services are maintained.
Your donation will be used in several ways to help the thousands of people who live, work and travel in the Outback.
Your donation funds essential health services:
-
Preventative Health Programs for people living on remote stations
-
Healthy eating and increased exercise programs in remote communities
- Cultural activities which benefit health
- Better access to specialist health professionals for extremely remote locations
- Improved access to health information and resources for patients and health professionals
- The delivery of culturally appropriate health services
We need a wide range of the latest medical equipment to continue providing the best aeromedical service in the world.
Your donation purchases vital but expensive equipment including:
- Foetal heart monitors
- Ventilators
- Defibrillators to re-start a failed heart
Your donation buys aircraft to keep us flying.
Our aircraft are among the safest in the world and fly more than 7 million kilometres in their lifetime! But after 20 years of hard work, they need to be replaced.
