A new model of healthcare by a FIFO healthcare provider is bringing allied health professionals to regional areas.
Crossing the tarmac they have come to treat patients and NDIS participants in Hopetoun, 550 kilometres south-east of Perth. "It was just getting too much for me to try and do all those trips, and also try and work and look after the children."Help came from the skies, with a team of allied health specialists flying into Hopetoun once a fortnight on a four-seat Cirrus SR 22 flown by pilot Julian Munday.
"They provide a great service, however they only see a very small percentage of the community," he said.
