| RFDS South Easter Section corporate headquarters at Broken Hill, image from their website |
Numerous Broken Hill locals and groups support the Broken Hill (and Australian) RFDS financially in some way as the RFDS plays a vital role in the care of sick and injured people in remote areas.
If you would like to financially support the RFDS you can donate via a link from their website www.flyingdoctor.org.au .
Broken Hill is the corporate headquarters for the South Eastern Section of the RFDS. It is the only headquarters in Australia where visitors can see a working RFDS in action, every day of the week.
Guided tours are available which describe the full extent of the RFDS's aeromedical services. Visitors can view the communications room and, via a viewing platform, they can see the medically outfitted aircraft and the hangar.
The Bruce Langford Visitor Centre is at the corporate headquarters of the RFDS located at the Broken Hill Airport in South Broken Hill and is open daily. Visitors are welcome to browse through the Centre and watch a film about RFDS operations at Broken Hill.
Royal Flying Doctor Service merchandise is available for purchase at the souvenir shop (or from the RFDS online shop). All proceeds from sales and admissions go directly towards the vital work of the RFDS.

Closed Christmas Day, Boxing Day, Good Friday
Cost Adults $7, children 6 and over $3.70, family $16.50, concession $5.90

It is on my list of things still to do* but I have heard it is fantastic.
*See future post as I did visit the RFDS two days later (and in summary it really was fantastic).
