Let’s wing it! Help us raise funds to keep the Flying Doctor flying
Let’s keep the Flying Doctor flying! We're raising funds so the Royal Flying Doctor Service can respond at a moment’s notice for people living, working, and travelling in regional, rural and remote areas in Australia.
Last year alone, the RFDS reached more than 330,000 Australians with 24-hour emergency retrieval and primary health care. That’s one person every two minutes! The Flying Doctor is always on call to help and save lives, and that’s why we're asking you to chip in to and help the RFDS to provide the finest care to the furthest corner. Will you wing it with us? Great!
Donate now towards our fundraiser, and let’s see how high our tally can fly.
Thank you to our Sponsors
