We are delighted to announce that Red Dirt Project Management has been engaged to undertake a Development Masterplan of the Operational Base in Broken Hill for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (South Eastern Section).
Broken Hill was the foundation base for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (South Eastern Section) network and has been providing health and emergency services to people living in remote communities for more than 80 years.
A 24/7 emergency evacuation service operates out of the Broken Hill base, capable of putting an aeromedical team in the air within 60 minutes of receiving a call. They are supported by an engineering team who maintain the aircraft at a maintenance facility located on-site.
Primary healthcare teams travel out to deliver services at 23 clinics in remote and outback communities across the region. These include general practice, mental health, alcohol and other drugs counselling, chronic disease management, oral and dental health as well as women’s, child and family health.
The Clive Bishop Medical Centre is also located at the Broken Hill base delivering non-emergency health services including immunisations, children’s health, chronic disease management, wound care and skin checks.
The Broken Hill base is also home to the Bruce Langford Visitor Centre, which features a museum, theatre and shop. Visitors to the Centre can explore the Flying Doctor’s rich history, tour the base and see several aircraft up close.
Stay tuned for future updates on this exciting collaborative journey.
