PLATINUM OUTBACK FRIENDS PROGRAMME
The ability of the Royal Flying Doctors Service (RFDS) to provide essential medical services in rural and outback Australia depends on the generous support of our donors.
To provide further financial support for the RFDS, the RFDS Friends in the UK have launched a major donors programme inviting people interested in contributing to the work of the RFDS. Any donations made through the Platinum Outback Friends Programme is transferred to the RFDS in Australia without any deduction by the RFDS Friends in the UK.
You can become a Platinum Outback Friend by making an annual donation of a minimum annual amount of £5,000
The benefits of registering as a supporter
By becoming a Platinum Outback Friend you will not only be providing much needed financial support to one of Australia most iconic charities but will also be able to connect with like minded supporters at special Platinum Outback Friend events.
There is no better way to ensure the RFDS can continue its valuable work well into the future than by becoming a Platinum Outback Friend.
