What to know

What to expect from aeromedical transport

01

When non-emergency aeromedical fits

Inter-hospital transfers for stable patients moving from a regional hospital to a metropolitan specialist; repatriation home after a holiday or work injury that's now stable; non-urgent patient movement to a treatment centre. For acute and emergency cases, follow your state's emergency aeromedical system - the dispatch infrastructure and clinical capability are different.

02

Aircraft configuration

Most non-emergency aeromedical work goes in turboprops (Beech King Air, Pilatus PC-12) or light jets (Citation, Embraer Phenom) configured with a stretcher, oxygen system, basic monitoring and space for medical escort. Configuration varies by operator - confirm requirements (vent, ventilator-capable, neonatal capsule, isolette, isolation procedures) in the brief.

03

Medical escort and family

Most non-emergency transfers include a registered nurse or paramedic escort. Tell us if family are flying with the patient - capacity varies by aircraft and configuration.

04

Insurance and discharge paperwork

Insurance pre-authorisation, discharge summaries and consultant-to-consultant referral are usually the customer's responsibility. Operators can coordinate medical-side logistics with both ends but the clinical referral and paperwork are yours.

Typical aircraft

What flies these jobs
