Keeping Queensland's mums safe

“I saved some of my pocket money for you to use when other people get hurt like my mum.” So ends the beautiful letter we recently received from 8-year-old Brielle Bowen, one of our youngest supporters.

A son's dream and a mother's love

Every year, many of our kind and generous supporters make the decision to include a gift in their Will to the Flying Doctor. For some, it’s a way to show their appreciation for a service that has kept their community safe.

History in the making

With your generosity, we’re almost ready to open the doors to a new Bundaberg Aeromedical Base!

You're changing lives in outback Queensland

Collinsville resident, Deanna, was one of the first patients to walk through the door of the RFDS Dental Service more than seven years ago. For Deanna and her husband, the service you helped to provide has been invaluable.

Friends for life and local heroes

Betty Marchant and Georgie Walker are local legends in their hometown of Eromanga. When they’re not looking after the RFDS clinic or running the monthly fundraising BBQ at the Royal Hotel, you can find them lending a hand to our aeromedical crew when we fly into town.

Into the eye of the storm

As a parent, it’s always worrying when a young child is sick. But for Rebecca O’Sullivan, it was even more stressful when her 5-year-old daughter Clare fell seriously ill during severe flooding.

A Christmas to remember

For Flight Nurse Sabrina Montaldo, Christmas will always bring with it memories of a dramatic rescue in the outback. Only five months after commencing with the Service, Sabrina attended a tragic boating accident at Lake Julius for her first aeromedical retrieval.

When young lives hang in the balance

For Bundaberg mum, Kelly-Anne, there were no warning signs that something was wrong.
