Stay safe this Easter long weekend, WA 💙❤️

In 2025, we retrieved 119 patients across the Easter break. Wherever you’re heading, travel safe and take it easy. We hope you won’t need us, but if you do, we’ll be there for you.

When Cyclone Zelia hit the Pilbara in February 2025, most people took shelter but for South Hedland’s Joseph Wyllie, the cyclone triggered a terrifying case of asthma.

With roads closed and weather too dangerous to fly, the RFDS worked to safely transfer Joseph, who has Down Syndrome, to Perth for specialist care.

Grateful for the care he received, Joseph’s mum Te Aroha was inspired to give back. Both keen swimmers, the pair joined the national RFDS fundraiser Oceans to Outback, setting a goal to each swim 20 kilometres in 20 days during October, alongside Joseph’s support worker Andrew Lucas.

Together, they raised $2,350 for the RFDS 💙❤️

Today we recognise and celebrate the incredible doctors who dedicate their lives to caring for others 💙❤️

On National Doctors' Day, we acknowledge the skill, compassion, and resilience it takes to show up every day and make a difference - often in the most challenging of circumstances.

From remote communities to city hospitals and everywhere in between, doctors play a vital role in keeping us healthy and supported when it matters most.

Kickboxer Danial Williams has faced plenty of tough opponents in the ring, but he met his hardest adversary when he crashed his car into a towering Karri tree in the South West.

The crash left Danial in a critical condition. He woke up from an induced coma in Royal Perth Hospital’s trauma ward 36 hours later and learned he had been flown in the RFDS Fortescue Heli-Med service EC-145 helicopter.

Born at just 22 weeks and two days, Australia’s youngest surviving pre-term baby was born 4,000 kilometres from home. Stevie’s story is nothing short of extraordinary ❤️

Weighing just 500 grams, her fight began more than 4,000km from home. After months of specialist care, Stevie was finally strong enough to make the journey back to WA - with the RFDS helping bring her safely home.

(We didn't tell them it's much easier to get to Rottnest in the RFDS Fortescue Heli-Med Service helicopter!)

Harmony Week is a time to celebrate the many cultures, languages and stories that make our communities stronger 💙❤️

An incredible result from this year’s Goldfields Children Charity Ball, with more than $500,000 raised through the high-roller auction alone 👏

Support like this plays a vital role in helping the RFDS continue delivering life-saving care to regional and remote communities across Western Australia.

We’re grateful for the ongoing generosity and support of the Goldfields community and the impact it continues to make ✨

Today, we're reflecting on the Close the Gap 2026 theme of "Community Voices", highlighting the power and leadership of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in tackling longstanding health inequities and calls on governments across Australia to move beyond policy promises and take definitive legislative action.

We aim to provide the finest care to the furthest corners of WA, and our RFDS WA crew help deliver vital health care to remote communities every day, helping ensure people can access the health care they deserve and need, no matter the distance.
