25.01.2022 We are so grateful @NTCity2Surf has selected the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia as their Charity of Choice for the 2020 City 2 Surf Every day the RFDS helps eight Territorians - be it the retrieval of the critically-ill from the outback or the transfer of a patient from a regional clinic to a major hospital for life-saving or specialist treatment. The RFDS relies on fundraising initiatives and donations from the community to bridge the gap in its operational fundi...ng and to purchase its ‘flying intensive care units’ at a cost of more than $7 million each. Register for this year's City 2 Surf today and support the RFDS http://everydayhero.com.au/event/NTCity2Surf2020 RFDS Darwin Tourist Facility #NTc2s

24.01.2022 Local Indigenous artists have partnered with the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia to unveil its new official RFDS crew uniform launched in recognition o...f National NAIDOC Week. It just shows the wonderful connection the RFDS has with Indigenous Australia. The design which has been done by some very talented artists out of Ceduna, Kelly Taylor and T’keyah Ware, is absolutely superb, Premier Steven Marshall. The original artwork, titled Flight Journey Line, has a storyline depicting the Flying Doctor’s ongoing presence in remote communities where crews provide emergency evacuations and health care. Exclusive report in 7NEWS at 6pm on Channel 7 Adelaide. www.7NEWS.com.au #NAIDOC #RFDS #7NEWS

10.01.2022 Happy Territory Day! Fingers crossed for some good news for a lockdown end tomorrow!

10.01.2022 Today we launched the start of NAIDOC week by unveiling a commissioned artwork by Mother-daughter artist duo Kelly Taylor and T’keyah Ware. SA Premier Steven Marshall, who attended today’s launch congratulated artists Kelly Taylor and T’keyah Ware on their design and the whole RFDS team on such a fantastic project. As artists and as past users of the RFDS service, Kelly and T’keyah have depicted beautifully the story of the Flying Doctor in remote communities and I congrat...ulate them both on their magnificent design." The design will be a point of pride for Flying Doctor clinicians, pilots and support staff as they work in communities, providing valuable medical services to their patients, and their families. The original painting will be hung at the RFDS Adelaide Base, with full-size prints displayed at all RFDS bases across SA/NT including Port Augusta, Alice Springs and Darwin, as well as its Remote Area Nurse clinics at Andamooka, Marla and Marree. The artwork’s motif has also been reproduced onto a polo shirt to be worn by all RFDS Central Operations staff, including clinicians, pilots, engineers and support staff. The artwork, titled Flight Journey Line, has a story line depicting the Flying Doctor’s ongoing presence in remote communities where crews provide emergency evacuations, primary health care, mental health care, oral health care and chronic disease management.
