The Visitor Experience

An interactive exploration of the world of the Royal Flying Doctor Service

Touch down into the world of heroic doctors, nurses, pilots and outback communities. Live each moment as we deliver urgent medical care across a 7.69 million square km ‘waiting room’ - the Australian outback.

See through the eyes of unique outback characters and communities. Experience their stories and challenges across the vast Australian remote areas - as if you’re right there.

Get up close to our aircraft

Explore in Augmented Reality (AR) as our people treat a patient in the cabin of a aeromedical aircraft. Walk through our split fuselage, see the controls and interact with the touchscreens and aeromedical equipment, as if you’re flying with them thousands of kilometres to the nearest hospital.

Augmented Reality

Immerse yourself in our live operations

See the day-to-day action unfolding on our giant control screens. Watch the locations of our planes and teams where they retrieve people in need, or provide primary healthcare all across Australia’s outback.

Immersive Storytelling

Step back in time

Get up close to Australia's first air ambulance airplanes, a replica of a De Havilland DH-83 Fox Moth. The Australian Aerial Medical Services (AAMS) in Broken Hill NSW hired the plane in 1937. So the Royal Flying Doctor - and the ‘help on the horizon’ - was born.

Real-life exhibit

See an original ‘Outback Trek’ car

At the ‘Outback Car Trek’, intrepid drivers take their 2WD cars for a thrilling and breathtaking journey across thousands of kilometres of our beautiful sunburned country. The event has raised close to $30 million for the Royal Flying Doctor Service since its launch 30 years ago, and ensures that ‘help is on the horizon’ for those in need.
