Visiting care
Our Community Health Services are run from the RFDS Port Augusta Base. Services are available to residents in outback South Australia who live more than 80km from a hospital or general practice. This includes districts of North West SA, Far North & East SA, Gawler Ranges and Nullarbor.
No fees are payable by patients for these services. Your Medicare number is required for prescriptions, pathology, radiology and some specialist referrals.
The RFDS’s scheduled fly-in clinics out of our Port Augusta Base offer remote patients a complete face-to-face primary healthcare service.
To find out about our visiting care schedule, or to book an appointment call us or email us.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency call us on 1800 RFDS SA (1800 733 772) immediately.
