The state of Australian medical air transport:
If you have an accident and need urgent medical extraction, you will be sent a shiny new PC12, King Air or similar to pick you up.
If your injuries are non-life threatening and only need patient transport, you will most likely be sent a 30 or 40 year old Chieftain, Navajo, Westwind, etc.
Why? Because the charter companies engaged by the govt and insurance companies to contract such services are driven by the lowest common denominator: price.
The parameters for the tendering of medical transport services need to be widened to include age of fleet and operational standards, not just the cheapest price...
