About Angel Flight

About Angel Flight Australia

Angel Flight is a charity which coordinates non-emergency flights to assist country people to access specialist medical treatment that would otherwise be unavailable to them because of vast distance and high travel costs.

All flights are free and may involve travel to medical facilities anywhere in Australia.

"Signs"

Created to show the unique Australian rural scene while at the same time highlighting the enormous distances facing country people needing specialist medical care: the “Signs” TV commercials bring both together in a highly creative way.
