There are many people who have chosen to leave a bequest to the RFDS, as they are aware of the importance of securing the future of our work so that our services will continue for future generations. All of these people share a common will to help the Flying Doctor in its mission to extend Flynn’s ‘mantle of safety’ across Australia. 

YOUR BEQUEST WILL HELP SECURE OUR FUTURE 

It started with a bequest... 

A bequest from the Philanthropist Hugh McKay, together with money raised by the Australian Inland Mission, provided the initial funds for the service that is recognised today as the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia. 

Now more than ever before we still rely on the generosity of individuals like Hugh McKay to help in our ongoing work and to continue to improve the care we provide. 

You can become a ‘friend for life’ of the Royal Flying Doctor Service by making a Bequest.  Your support will demonstrate your commitment and affection for an organisation that exists for one purpose – to help others.   In doing so you keep alive Reverend John Flynn’s vision of a ‘Mantle of Safety’. 

Your Bequest will assist in continuing to provide and improve medical assistance, when needed, to all Australians.   

By contacting our Bequest Officer without obligation you can find out about; 

• How to make a Will

• How to review and revise your existing Will.

• Types of Bequests that you may like to consider.

• The appropriate wording needed when inserting a bequest in your Will.

• Becoming an RFDS ‘Friends for Life’ member.

Please consider becoming a very special ‘friend for life’ to the Royal Flying Doctor Service, the reward in helping your fellow man is immeasurable and adds to the great sense of pride and satisfaction that you gain.  For further information call our Community Marketing Coordinator, Ross Curtis, on 08 8238 3333 or email enquiries@flyingdoctor.net
