Extraordinary people, there when it matters most
Frank is one of the many extraordinary Australians who work the land, a long way from help if something goes wrong. When his helicopter struck a live power line and crashed in remote country, every second mattered. With no phone signal and hospitals hours away, his survival depended on an extraordinary response.
That response came from the Royal Flying Doctor Service – highly-trained pilots, doctors and nurses, ready to act.
But they can’t do it alone.
The tireless work of the Flying Doctor is made possible by another group of extraordinary people: supporters like you!
Today, your generosity will help keep our fleet fuelled, our aeromedical team trained and ready to go, and our aircraft stocked with vital equipment and medication.
Please make an extraordinary, life-saving gift today!


“The was the worst part, not knowing if he was going to live or die.”
– Sarah, Frank’s wife
As Frank lay injured in the outback, Sarah waited hours for news, fearing the worst. But thanks to the Royal Flying Doctor Service – and the generosity of supporters – help was already on its way.
A skilled crew reached Frank, stabilised him, treated his injuries on the ground, and flew him to safety.
Please donate today and be there for extraordinary people like Frank when disaster strikes.
