On 17 May we’re celebrating the 97th anniversary of the first RFDS flight in 1928 – and we would love your help to spread the word and celebrate with us!
We’re on a mission to ensure we can continue to bring the finest medical care to all Western Australians who live, work or travel throughout our great state. But we know we can’t do this without you.
This year we are excited to partner with CBH Group, Roy Hill, IGO, Sandfire, and Byrnecut who have signed up as Matched Giving Partners for this year’s Flying Doctor Day on May 15. This means all donations made up to and on May 15 will be matched – doubling the impact of your generosity!
What’s on this Flying Doctors Day and how can you show your support?
