If Western Australia has similar to this:-

Then burns patients are a time critical patient even in a major centre and require transfer to one of Australia's 13 burns units.

Stabilisation is checking for inhale burns (ex-ray) and you jump the que for this, followed by pain relief - shock takes long to settle in . Get to the burns unit ASAP.

Perth has two burns units and Darwin has one. I am sure Perth's are fine but I know Darwin's is great (Thanks Allison)

So for every time critical burns case, in North Western Australia a PC24 based in Broome is a good medical case for the jet to be based there.

I expect my early recollection of the guy burnt in the tent and "Go Now" was based on a similar policy to the NSW link supplied.
