Description: A charity that coordinates non-emergency flights to assist people to access specialist medical treatment that would otherwise be unavailable to them because of vast distance and high travel costs. All flights are free and assist passengers traveling to or from medical facilities almost anywhere in Australia. Flights are conducted by volunteer pilots in their own aircraft. Angel Flight volunteer pilots are not medically trained and do not carry an aero-medical staff or medical equipment so do not act as an alternative to the Royal Flying Doctor Service nor Air Ambulance. Angel Flight's ground volunteers provide car transportation between the city airports and medical facilities (or nearby accommodation). A health professional is the only person who can authorise a flight request. Passengers must be able to enter and exit a light aircraft unassisted (or with the assistance of a companion).
