What we do in VIC

In Victoria the Royal Flying Doctor Service works in partnership with a number of community health organisations across the State to improve the health and well-being of our rural communities. We believe in creating opportunities so all Victorians have the choice to access essential primary health care services.

We also provide non-emergency patient transport services on behalf of Ambulance Victoria out of our 13 bases located around Victoria, this service is also supported by our aircraft capability at Essendon Airport.
