Flying Doctor extension to Western Australia planned
The Civil Aviation Department is preparing plans to extend the Flying Doctor scheme to northern Western Australia. Bases will be established at Port Hedland and Wyndham. A new organisation, Australian Aerial Medical Services, will oversee the scheme with Commonwealth and State cooperation and private donations plus government grants funding. The Kimberley region will be served under an arrangement with the Ord River Wyndham air service contractor. Commonwealth support will fund about £500 of social ambulance costs in the final year of operation.
