Royal Flying Doctor Service, Victoria

The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) has been delivering healthcare to rural and remote Australians since 1928, evolving from an aeromedical emergency service into a comprehensive healthcare provider. Today, it offers emergency transport, primary healthcare, and mental health services to help overcome the challenges of distance and limited access to care. In Victoria, RFDS focuses on improving health, wellbeing, and social connectedness by reducing preventable illnesses, supporting recovery, addressing mental health concerns, and combating social isolation. As a not-for-profit organisation, it works collaboratively with health partners across the state to provide accessible, high-quality, and inclusive healthcare services. Guided by innovation, responsiveness, and community need, RFDS is committed to reaching even the most remote communities and ensuring all Victorians can access essential healthcare.
