Join the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) and play a vital role in delivering compassionate, high‑quality patient care.

About us
Since 1928, the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) has delivered vital aeromedical, emergency and primary health care across Australia. Through our Flying Doctor Patient Transport, we provide non‑emergency patient transport in Victoria and New South Wales, supporting patients with safe, compassionate care as they travel between home, hospitals and specialist clinics - on the ground and in the air.
About the role
Flying Doctor Patient Transport is seeking motivated and caring Patient Transport Officers to join our Echuca team. This fixed-term full-time role offers flexibility, structured training, and the opportunity to work alongside experienced clinicians in a supportive environment - without the pressures of emergency response work
Key responsibilities of the role include:
• Perform patient assessment and intervention during road transport
• Deliver safe, compassionate care aligned with RFDS clinical guidelines and NEPT regulations
• Monitor patients and evaluate responses to treatment en‑route
• Work collaboratively with a partner clinician in a team‑based model
Qualifications and experience required:
• A minimum qualification of Cert III in Non-Emergency Patient care, Diploma of Nursing, or equivalent. Bachelor of Health Science (Paramedic) students may apply on completion of second year subject units
• Experience working in the NEPT sector in an equal role desirable but not essential
• Full Victorian Driver Licence
• National Police Check, Working with Children Check and right to work in Australia
Our Benefits:
• 1:1 staff to patient ratio
• Work within a clearly defined scope of practice
• Lower‑acuity, less stressful environment than ED or ward‑based roles
• Salary packaging, penalties, allowances and EAP support

As part of the application process, you will be required to provide evidence of the following vaccinations:
• Hepatitis B
