A look back at our 20 Years in the Northern Territory

For Territorians, CareFlight has provided a vital lifeline to those living in regional and remote communities over the last 20 years. From outback cattle stations to out at sea, our Top End service covers an area of over 600,000km². We work alongside NT government health providers and remote communities to close the gap on remote health care in some of the most isolated parts of Australia.

Help us continue to make more stories like Bianca's possible

Learner driver Bianca was driving a short distance to the shops with her father and sister, when another car ran a red light and crashed into them. "I nearly lost my husband and both daughters that day. But thanks to people like you, CareFlight was ready to fly to their side" - Sonia, Bianca's Mum. What could have been the worst day of their lives became a story of strength, survival, and the power of rapid response.
