Fundraising efforts are greatly supported by a unique relationship the RFDS shares with its volunteer groups in the regional and metropolitan areas. The Flying Doctor is always present in their lives and fundraising events for the Service are a natural part of their social calendar. 

Visit an outback town and you are likely to find a race meeting, a ball, a raffle or even a donation tin raising money for the Flying Doctor – they know it’s their lifeline. In Adelaide you may find our support group organising a wine and cheese tasting day. 

As the RFDS has expanded so too has its support network.  Today most major towns and capital cities have loyal groups of volunteers fundraising and promoting the Flying Doctor in their communities. 

Fundraising events are varied and include; Race Days, Art exhibitions, Luncheons, Card days, Wine bottling, Quiz nights, Wine and Cheese Tasting evenings, Concerts and much more.
