tle Wings also offer a unique program called MEDICAL WINGS. The program was established in 2020, and year-on-year, the number of clinics delivered, and the volume of children assisted, have increased dramatically.

Little Wings fly specialist healthcare teams out across the state to deliver pop-up clinics for the most vulnerable children… and the response has been incredible. In FY26, Little Wings completed 229 medical wings clinics and assisted 2500 children via this program.

The clinics are delivered in partnership with local regional hospitals, Aboriginal Medical Centres, Regional General Practitioners and Immigration Centres to ensure we connect with families in accessible locations but also with the appropriate and familiar supports required to ensure a successful delivery. As a result, we have had a 100% attendance rate across all clinics.

Further, one of the unintentional but powerful results of this program has been the delivery of face-to-face training for regional Healthcare Workers, aiming to build capacity, confidence and connection. Ultimately, reducing the need for unnecessary city referrals and ensuring a holistic, personalised experience for every patient. Training was delivered in multiple areas including:

• Paediatric emergency response;
• Paediatric end of life care; and
• Chemotherapy support and administration.

This program has had many positive outcomes, based on clinician feedback, including:

• Improved health literacy for families and the wider community;
• Closing the gap on regional medical access and addressing the remote outreach needs identified in the Henry review;
• Consistent delivery of clinics, build patient/family engagement and medical compliance;
• Significant engagement with indigenous and CALD communities; and
• Sustainable options for clinicians, reducing travel risks and easing the journey.
