NO MATTER THE DISTANCE
The Royal Flying Doctor Service in Western Australia provides life-saving care to more than 2.5 million square kilometres of WA - the largest and most remote health jurisdiction in the world.
In fact, some of our patients are geographically closer to the International Space Station than they are to a tertiary hospital.
Our spring 2024 edition of Your Flying Doctor magazine covers stories from the very north of Western Australia, with Doctor Michael Leith's adventurous retrieval in Operation Mitchell Plateau all the way to the southern coastal town of Esperance, where we meet inspiring photographer Jaimen.
"As someone who lives regionally, I feel grateful for the fact there’s this service available that costs us nothing and can get you to the medical attention that you require as soon as possible."

RFDS was called to retrieve a woman who broke her leg hiking in one of WA’s most hard to reach locations. The accident happened about a two-day walk from the closest airstrip and was inaccessible by road or boat.
The RFDS Fortescue Heli-Med helicopter flew to Geraldton and then onto Rat Island to retrieve a patient. A fixed-wing RFDS aircraft is unable to land on the Abrolhos Islands because the current airstrip isn’t long enough.
In many remote communities, patients face long delays – sometimes months or even years – before receiving treatment for dental issues such as impacted wisdom teeth, decay, and periodontal diseases.
