The RFDS SE Medicine Chests include antibiotics to treat soft tissue, urinary tract, and chest infections, all the way through to adrenaline, midazolam and morphine to treat accidents, trauma and other significant medical emergencies until the RFDS arrives.

The RFDS supplied and maintained 2,370 medical chests around Australia in 2022/23.

Medical Chests provide peace of mind to those living in the most remote parts of the Australian outback. 

The medical chest has evolved over many years to cover a number of medical conditions that would be difficult for people living and working in remote areas to treat.

As such, it contains a large number of what are usually prescription only pharmaceutical items.

It is a condition for the provision of the chest that these drugs be used only on the advice of a registered RFDS doctor.

A person needing medical help can receive advice from an RFDS doctor via telephone who then is able to prescribe appropriate medication from the chest. 

The contents of the chest are reviewed regularly at a national level to ensure relevancy and currency of pharmaceuticals.
