Flying Doctor Day


On 17 May we’re celebrating the anniversary of the first RFDS flight in 1928 – and we would love your help to spread the word and celebrate with us!
That is nearly a century of continuous care we have provided to regional, rural and remote communities. Over this time we have evolved what we do and how we do it, but the ethos behind our mission and why we all turn up to work every day remains the same.
We’re on a mission to ensure we can continue to bring the finest healthcare to all Australians who live, work or travel throughout NSW.
There are so many ways our amazing supporters show they care and this Flying Doctor Day, we want to make it even easier for you to get behind the Flying Doctor! We have a wide selection of social media tiles, stickers, posters and colouring-in pages.
