A Flight Nurse provides high-level clinical care to patients during aeromedical evacuations and transfers. You might work for the Royal Flying Doctor Service, state ambulance organisations, or private rescue agencies. You will focus on emergency stabilisation, intensive care monitoring, and advanced life support within an aircraft. By preparing specialised equipment and managing patient safety during flight, you ensure successful transit from remote locations to hospitals.
Flight Nurses play a critical role in Australia’s emergency healthcare system. You must be highly adaptable and calm under pressure to work independently in a challenging aviation environment. You will liaise with flight crews and hospital staff to ensure seamless clinical handovers and optimal patient outcomes.
