Der RFDS besitzt etwa 60 Flugzeuge an 21 Standorten mit insgesamt fast 1000 Mitarbeitern. Ärztliche Beratungen erfolgen nach Bedarf. Anrufe werden im Kontrollzentrum über Telefon oder Sprechfunk entgegengenommen und dann bei Bedarf direkt mit einem Arzt zur medizinischen Beratung verbunden. Heute wird der Funk in den meisten Fällen nur noch als Ersatz bei Ausfall des Telefons eingesetzt. Außerhalb der Dienststunden werden die Funkfrequenzen auf Fernbedienung umgeschaltet und auf Anrufe für den Arzt hin abgehört, so dass der Funk 24 Stunden täglich rund um die Uhr für Notrufe in Bereitschaft ist.
Sofern der RFDS Flüge durchführt, ist nur bei Bedarf ein Arzt an Bord. Viele Flüge werden vonPflegernoder Krankenschwestern begleitet. Oft werden nur Medikamente oder Blutkonserven ganz ohne medizinisches Personal transportiert.
Der RFDS hat in vielen abgelegenen Orten und Farmen Boxen mit Medikamenten stationiert. Die Medikamente sind nummeriert, um Missbrauch zu verhindern und bei telefonischen Anweisungen Eindeutigkeit zu wahren. Ein Arzt kann dann im Falle einer medizinischen Beratung per Telefon oder Funk die Nummer des Medikaments angeben, das einzunehmen ist.
Finanzierung [Bearbeiten]
Die laufenden Unterhaltungskosten des RFDS werden durch Zuschüsse des Bundes und der Regierung desNorthern Territoryfinanziert. Kosten für den Ersatz von Investitionsausrüstung oder von medizinischen Geräten muss der Dienst selbst decken. Deshalb ist er in starkem Maße auf öffentliche Spenden und andere Aktivitäten, wie z. B. das Besucherzentrum und Café in Alice Springs, angewiesen. Außerdem erzielt er Einnahmen durch die Erstattung der Kosten für medizinische Dienste durch die Versicherungen oder Patienten.
Privatpersonen, die durchMedicare, die australischeKrankenversicherung, oder auch durch internationale Versicherungsabkommen auf Gegenseitigkeit versichert sind, brauchen für die Dienste des RFDS nichts zu zahlen, gleichgültig, ob sie im Outback leben, es Durchreisende oder Besucher aus einem anderen Bundesstaat oder dem Ausland sind. Patienten ohne Versicherung müssen jedoch die Kosten der Behandlung selbst bezahlen.
John Flynn was born in thegold rushtown ofMoliagul, about 202 kilometres north-west ofMelbourne. His mother died whilst giving birth when Flynn was three, and he spent part of his childhood growing up with relatives. His father moved the family to the town of Braybrook Junction (nowSunshinein the western suburbs of Melbourne) and became the local primary school's first Head Teacher in 1891.[1]John Flynn completed secondary school at bAustralian Inland Mission. As well as tending to matters spiritual, Flynn quickly established the need for medical care for residents of the vastAustralian outback, and established a number of bush hospitals.
By 1917, Flynn was already considering the possibility of new technology, such as radio and aircraft, to assist in providing a more useful acute medical service, and then received a letter from an Australian pilot serving inWorld War I,Clifford Peel, who had heard of Flynn's speculations and outlined the capabilities and costs of then-available planes. This material was published in the church's magazine, the start of Flynn turning his considerable fund-raising talents to the task of establishing a flying medical service. The first flight of the Aerial Medical Service was in 1928 fromCloncurry,Queensland. A museum commemorating the founding of the Royal Flying Doctor Service is located at John Flynn Place in Cloncurry.

Surviving theGreat Depression, Flynn guided the organisation, lobbying both politicians and his church, to take the service nationwide. In 1934 the Australian Aerial Medical Service was formed, and gradually established a network of bases nationwide. Flynn remained the public face of the organisation (through name changes to its present form) and helped raise the funds that kept the service operating.
Bob Hughes, who was Postmaster-General at the time, was very impressed with Flynn's work, and offered to take over the provision and maintenance of the entire radio network, converting every pedal wireless into a Public Telegraph Office. This was rejected out of hand by Flynn, as otherwise he could not prevent messages placing bets on horses and ones ordering liquor from being sent and received.
While undoubtedly most famous for the organisation that became the RFDS, Flynn's work with the Mission extended well beyond it. As well as the nursing homes, Flynn instituted travelling ministries - ministers travelling vast distances on horseback through the inland. In 1939Presbyterian Church of Australiaelected Flynn to theprimus inter paresrole ofModerator-General.

Flynn married the secretary of the AIM, Jean Baird, in 1931 at the relatively advanced age of 51. He finally retired and died inSydney. He was cremated and his remains placed under a large boulder from theDevils Marbles. In an unfortunate postscript to Flynn's life, theNorthern TerritoryDepartment of Public Works had taken the rock from a site sacred to its traditional owners. After many years of negotiations the rock was returned to its original location in 1998 and replaced with one acceptable to theAboriginalpeople, both of the original rock's home and the people on whose land his grave lies.
Flynn was appointed an Officer of theOrder of the British Empirein 1933[4]He is featured on one side of the currentAustralian 20 dollar note. TheCanberrasuburb ofFlynnhonours his memory. Thefederal electorate of Flynnin Queensland was created by the Australian Electoral Commission in 2006.
Qantas has announced that they intend naming one of their Airbus A380s after Flynn in recognition of his contribution to the aviation industry and particularly to his achievement of founding the Royal Australian Flying Doctors Service.[5]
