How do people on a sheep station get help if they are injured or ill?
This depends on how far away their sheep station is from a major town with decent medical facilities, and how severe the injury is.Many particularly remote or outlying sheepstations have to rely on the Royal Flying Doctor Service for major emergencies. Years ago, telegraph operators had to relay the medical information from a doctor who might have been thousands of kilometres away, but the RFDS has eased that burden. However, most bush towns have medical facilities to deal wih injuries, or at least stabilise a patient until the RFDS gets there.
How did John Flynn contribute to Australia since federation?
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.

What service did John Flynn provide to people in outback Australia?
John Flynn brought the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) to the outback.The RFDS is a service which flies doctors and nurses to remote areas of the outback - areas that otherwise would not receive any quality medical services, due to the fact that they are so far from towns.Flynn was a Presbyterian minister who served in the Australian Inland Mission from 1912, at a time when just two doctors served an area of 300,000 sq kms in Western Australia and 1,500,000 sq kms in the Northern Territory. Realising there needed to be better medical care for the people of the outback, Flynn established numerous bush hospitals and hostels. However, he knew this was not enough so he looked into using the new technology of the aeroplane to bring medical help to more people. To help communication with such a service, Flynn worked with Alfred Traeger, who developed the pedal radio, a lighter, more compact radio for communication, more easily available to residents of the outback for its size and cost. The pedal radio meant there was no need for electricity, which was available in very few areas of the outback in the 1920s. In this way, Flynn joined the advantages of both radio and aeroplanes to provide what he called a "Mantle of Safety" for the outback.The RFDS is still operating today, bringing vital services to remote areas of Australia.
