The Flying Doctor Service originated in Australia in May 1928, as the Aerial Medical Service. It was established at Cloncurry, in western Queensland, Australia, to provide medical service to remote settlements and cattle stations and sheep stations in the sparsely populated outback of the continent. Doctors used aeroplanes to bring medical assistance to their patients and to take them to a hospital in one of the larger centres where facilities were better equipped to deal with serious cases.
