About Us
The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) South Eastern Section is part of one of Australia’s most respected and trusted organisations, providing 24-hour emergency aeromedical retrievals and essential healthcare to people living and working in remote, rural, and regional communities. We also deliver a comprehensive range of primary and preventative health services — including GP and nurse clinics, dental care, mental health support, alcohol and other drug counselling, vaccinations, chronic disease management, and telehealth. Our pilots play a critical role in this mission, operating in challenging and rewarding environments to ensure patients, clinicians, and essential equipment reach some of the most remote parts of Australia safely and efficiently.
Our Values of Reliability, Care, Trust and Safety shape the way we work as individuals, as team members and with the communities we serve.
