Supporting the Flying Doctor in WA means helping people like police officer Richard Buchanan when they need it most.

Suffering a stroke in the remote Nullarbor town of Eucla, Richard needed urgent specialised treatment only available 1,428 km away in Perth.

Time was of the essence, the Flying Doctor raced to bring Richard the care he needed. With no other options, the team conducted an emergency landing on Eyre Highway to reach Richard in the remote area.

The moment the RFDS landed on part of the world’s longest national highway, Richard had access to highly trained medical personnel and the life-saving equipment needed to stabilise his condition.

“The RFDS being able to evacuate me to Perth literally meant the difference between life and death in that moment,” Richard shared.
