The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) is seeking expressions of interest from NT cattle stations to be involved in a trial of virtual emergency care units.

Delivered in partnership with NT Cattlemen's Association (NTCA), NT Health's Medical Retrieval & Consultation Centre (MRaCC) and Remote Outreach Consultation Centre (ROCC), the trial will equip selected cattle stations in the Barkly and Central Australia with portable virtual health technology.

Rather than relying on a fixed clinic, the trial will deploy portable 'virtual care backpacks' and desktop telehealth solutions that can connect patients directly with 24/7 clinicians.

NTCA chief executive Romy Carey said the initiative represents an important step forward for safety and wellbeing across the pastoral industry.

"Cattle stations are workplaces, homes and communities, often located many hours from the nearest medical help," she said.

"We're essentially going to have an emergency department in a backpack, and I know that it's going to bring a lot of reassurance for those who travel out in stock camps for weeks on end."

To learn more about the technology, ABC Rural spoke to RFDS' Caroline Mason.

A growing number of people are taking advantage of a new free health service in Newcastle 🚐🧑‍⚕️

The Street Side Medics van was officially launched today, but has already been operating for a month, staffed by volunteer doctors and registered nurses like Aimee Cassar.

“It’s a constant in those patients lives, so for me being able to give back is really important," said Aimee.

The van is not designed for emergencies but brings vital health services to people experiencing homelessness and those who can't afford healthcare.

The Street Side Medic is located in the grounds of the Salvation Army centre in Cleary Street, Hamilton, and operates every Friday from 10am - 12 noon.

Other services offered on site include free meals and laundry services.

Fantastic tribute

WOW… A tribute that hits you right in the heart 🥹❤️

Local artist Jerome Davenport has created something truly special on the walls of the Pingelly SES Building – the Giants Among Us mural captures the courage, strength and determination of our emergency service volunteers and the compassion that drives them to help others.

It’s a heartfelt thank-you to the SES, Volunteer Fire and Rescue, Bush Fire Brigade and St John Ambulance crews who show up for their communities every day, and to the families and locals who stand proudly behind them.
