John Flynn contributed to Australia in a most significant way that has endured for nearly one hundred years. He brought medical facilities and hospitals to the outback, and started the Flying Doctor Service, now the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) which brings crucial medical assistance to remote areas of the outback. His lasting legacy is the fact that the RFDS has expanded to cover all of the mainland states and territories, bringing regular medical attention as well as emergency assistance and transportation to people who would otherwise not have access to it.
