The vision of founder (the Reverend) John Flynn was to create a “mantle of safety” for those in remote areas of outback Australia.

The not-for-profit RFDS today is one of the largest and most comprehensive aeromedical organisations in the world. In the 2018-19 financial year, RFDS assisted 370,706 people through clinics, telehealth, aeromedical and non-emergency road transport. It conducted 21,323 nurses, GP and dental clinics and flew 27,286,414 million kilometres in a fleet of 77 aircraft.
