The RFDS in QLD

Remote Wellbeing Service

The Royal Flying Doctor Service (Queensland Section) launched the Remote Wellbeing Service in January 2019. The service places a mental health clinician in each of our primary health care clinics across North West, Central West and South West Queensland. Clinicians work together with medical officers and nurses to meet the mental health and wellbeing needs of these communities. 

The Remote Wellbeing Service provides face-to-face, one-on-one clinical counselling services with secondary services provided via the RFDS Telehealth phone line at no cost and with no referral.
