Operations Centre
Our operations centre at Jandakot Airport handles all the telephone and HF emergency calls and also requests for medical consultations. These calls are switched to the duty RFDS medical officer who is nearest to the patient’s location.
If our medical officer determines that an evacuation is required, the operations centre duty coordinator will then task the most appropriate Base that is not already flying.
Our coordinators then arrange ambulance transfers for patients to the pick-up airport and from the destination airport to hospital. They will also arrange refuelling, airstrip lighting and vermin inspections and any other special requirements in support of our crew.
