Caring for Australians, Together
As the nation's largest not-for-profit health fund trusted by more than 2 million members, HCF is committed to creating a healthier, more equitable future for all Australians.
Through our ongoing partnership with HCF, we’ve been able to shine a light on the vital work the RFDS does every day in the heart of regional and remote Australia with the HCF Health in the Bush video series.
With HCF’s support, we're proud to share real stories from the bush, stories of resilience, strength, and the life-changing impact of access to quality healthcare.
From diabetes and maternal health, to heart disease and mental wellbeing, these videos showcase how we’re working together to bring critical care to communities far from city hospitals.
Scroll down to explore the HCF Health in the Bush video series and see what care in the bush really looks like.
DIABETES IN THE BUSH
Type 2 diabetes affects more people and leads to poorer health outcomes in regional and remote areas of Australia compared to major cities.
Discover how RFDS teams are helping people manage and prevent type 2 diabetes in regional communities, with the support of our partnership with HCF.
HEART HEALTH IN THE BUSH
One of the leading causes of death in remote areas is heart disease.
Watch how our primary care teams are working to improve heart health outcomes for Australians living in the bush, thanks to the power of collaboration with HCF.
MENTAL HEALTH IN THE BUSH
Accessing mental health support in regional and remote areas can be challenging, leading to greater feelings of isolation.
Learn how the RFDS is delivering compassionate mental health care across regional Australia, backed by the support of HCF.
MATERNAL HEALTH IN THE BUSH
Every woman deserves access to safe, supportive healthcare — no matter where she calls home.
See how RFDS supports regional women through every stage of the maternal health journey, with HCF helping us bring these vital stories to light.
MENOPAUSE IN THE BUSH
Menopause is a natural stage of life — but it shouldn’t mean facing health challenges alone.
