The Organisation

In 1986 CareFlight established Australia’s first dedicated medical emergency helicopter service. Not only does the original rapid response helicopter service continue to serve the Australian community, the critical care team model it pioneered has been emulated around the world, making CareFlight an Australian success story in aeromedical training. The organisation’s mission: Save lives, speed recovery and serve the community.

CareFlight operates from locations in NSW, northern WA and the Top End of the NT.

In 2019 CareFlight was voted Australia’s most reputable charity.
