We need to fill an emergency aircraft with medical equipment. To do so, we need to raise $300,000… an ambitious effort, but not impossible!

This Thursday 5 March, your kindness will go twice as far as our generous partners match your donation, dollar for dollar. ✈️✈️

🤝 A big thank you to Elders, S.Kidman Clothing, MGA Insurance Group, Exact Contracting and Westpac for backing this special day.

It’s been wonderful to see the recent rainfall in Central Australia and outback SA replenishing dams, refreshing bush country and providing some much-needed relief for communities. 🐂🌾

But the tropical low also brings its own challenges in terms of access and supplies.

Our RFDS teams are staying in close contact with communities to ensure they're connected to medical assistance and health services. ✈️

☎️ If you need emergency medical assistance, remember to call 000. If you’re in outback SA, you contact the RFDS directly on 1800 RFDS SA (1800 733 772).

84 years on, we remember the Bombing of Darwin and the impact it had on our community. 🕊️

To commemorate the Bombing of Darwin anniversary tomorrow, our RFDS Darwin Tourist Facility is offering 19% off general entry on 19 February – one day only.

Located on the Darwin Waterfront, the Facility brings together two iconic Australian stories under one roof: the heroic work of the Flying Doctor and the dramatic events of the Bombing of Darwin.

We welcome serving defence personnel and veterans with free entry as a small token of gratitude.

The Red Centre is green! 🌳

Our Alice Springs Base is almost unrecognisable after the recent eight-day streak of rain. 🌧️

The total rainfall recorded was more than 125mm. 😮

🗣️ “The next thing we know, we're being loaded onto an RFDS plane. I thought, well, there's my anniversary gift... a flight to Adelaide.”

💕 While many celebrate with flowers and dinner this Valentine’s Day, Alice Springs couple Dion and Darryl are marking something far more profound – the flight that saved Dion’s life almost a year ago on their wedding anniversary.

For the couple, most Saturdays begin with a walking group, followed by coffee with friends.

But one morning, something felt very wrong. After rushing to hospital, Dion was told he was having a heart attack. 🏥

🗣️ “Suddenly, they started ripping open my shirt and shoving lots of different sticky things on me.”

🗣️ “I just yelled, ‘Help! I’ve been bitten by a brown snake.’”

What began as a dream holiday to Uluru quickly turned into a nightmare for Eddie McKinney.

🌄 Originally from the US, exploring Australia's Red Centre with his wife Carmen and daughter Vienna had been on the bucket list. But a sudden bite and unmistakable fang marks, changed everything.

🐍 Eddie did what years of watching Australian documentaries on snake bites had taught him and was told, "We have to call the RFDS".
