Discover what it takes to save lives in the outback at the Royal Flying Doctor Outback Heritage Experience. Located at the RFDS Base next to Broken Hill airport – this new and innovative visitor experience offers endless opportunities to take in the heroic history and current-day operations of a service that has been coming to the aid of remote-living Australians since 1928.
Discover stories from the service’s past and present-day service delivery through its interactive exhibition, with world-first innovation and displays, showcasing how the Flying Doctor delivers urgent care across this vast continent and the positive impact RFDS has on people living and visiting regional and remote areas of NSW and beyond. The Broken Hill base alone covers 640,000 square kilometres of the outback.
Today there are 23 Royal Flying Doctor bases across Australia. Here at our Broken Hill base, doctors, nurses, engineers and pilots work with a fleet of Beechcraft King aircraft and are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Please Note: The Outback Heritage Visitor Experience is CLOSED currently (DEC 2024), due to redevelopment, and after an intensive refurbishment we hope to open early in 2025.
We are closed on Public Holidays.
