WHY GET INVOLVED IN THE FLYING DOCTOR BBQ?
The Royal Flying Doctor Service began with just one doctor, a pilot and a visionary. Since our first flight in 1928 we’ve become one of the largest and most comprehensive aeromedical organsations in the world, providing extensive care and 24-hour service to people over an area of 7.69 million square kilometres

We have over 1,400 people providing primary healthcare services like nurse, GP and dental clinics as well as emergency and non-emergency patient transport across the country.With your support we can continue to reach more people, more quickly and expand our services even further.
