Your support will help deliver more than 12,000 mental health consultations, yearly, to people in remote, rural and regional Queensland.


Thanks to supporters like you, the Royal Flying Doctor Service (Queensland Section) can continue to travel further, providing support where it's needed most.

Each year, approximately one in five, or 960,000, rural and remote Australians experience a mental illness. While data suggests the rates are similar in major cities, the accessibility of mental health services significantly differs in rural and remote areas. Farmers, young men, the elderly and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are at the highest risk of suicide and self-harm, making the services RFDS offers in Queensland vital.

RFDS (Queensland Section) delivers more than 12,100 mental health consultation annually and has the largest mental health service of RFDS sections across Australia. Our clinicians operate in areas as remote as Lockhart River in the Cape York and all the way to Camooweal on the Northern Territory Border.

The Mental Health and Wellbeing Service contains several specialised teams which provide psychological therapies and tailored programs for rural and remote Queenslanders.
