The RFDS in NSW/ACT
Join the RFDS retrieval team
The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) is a not-for-profit charity that provides 24/7 essential lifesaving, emergency and primary healthcare to regional, rural and remote NSW communities, where access to healthcare is limited. For 95 years, the RFDS has taken the finest care to the furthest corner.
We provide lifesaving outback emergency aeromedical retrievals and hospital transfers, as well as on the ground GP and nurse appointments, dental care, mental health care, alcohol and other drug counselling, vaccinations, chronic disease management and telehealth.
Through working with us, you’ll get the best of both worlds, regional living and the opportunity to be with a patient from the second they call for help to ensure they receive the best care.
