The RFDS in VIC
Education Program
For more than 10 years, RFDS Victoria has run an education program for primary schools across the state.
This program consists of an exciting incursion, which sees our team bring a life-sized medical plane simulator into schools, and provide an engaging presentation alongside a hand-on learning experience.
Additionally, the program offers free learning resources to schools, which address areas of Geography, History and Health.
The Education Program teaches students about the significant contribution the Royal Flying Doctor Service has made to Australia's history and educates them on the range of services the Flying Doctor provides to people living, working and traveling through out Australia
The program's comprehensive educational resource has been written by a team of practicing and registered teachers for Victorian Primary and Secondary school students.
This resource has been designed to focus on seven general capabilities that are addressed in the Australian Curriculum.
- Literacy- Numeracy
- Information and communication technology competence
- Critical and creative thinking
- Personal and social competence
- Ethical behaviour
- Intercultural understanding

The program also features a dedicated kids club, called Flying Doctor Flight Crew, which delivers quarterly newsletters to children, sharing stories and news from around the country.
