Royal Flying Doctor Service South Eastern Section - Broken Hill

The mission of the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) South Eastern Section is to deliver improved heath outcomes to remote, rural and regional communities across South Eastern Australia.

Started 90 years ago, the RFDS has grown to become the most comprehensive aeromedical service in the world, with flying doctors, nurses, specialists and allied health professionals taking essential health care services to country communities. Our multidisciplinary teams provide services from emergency retrievals to telehealth consultations, patient transfers and clinics (GP, mental health, dental health, and child and maternal health). They also deliver health education, illness prevention and treatment.

The communities we serve are disadvantaged by distance and socioeconomic factors which impact upon their access to general, specialist and emergency healthcare, and often the RFDS is the sole provider of health services within a community.
