So since there seem to be several AF volunteers on here, I have a question. I have always been led to believe from all the ads on TV about Angelflight, that it was only for people who have long distances to travel for medical reasons & have no access to RPT flights. It would appear that this is not so, given that YMTG has RPT flights that this unfortunate girl & her mother could have gone on instead.
So, what is the criteria - or isn't there any?
People who live outside major cities get no support to get to appointments in the big smoke. Just because there is RPT, most wouldn't be able to afford the cost especially when traveling fortnightly or similar. AF could just stick them on RPT but that really isn't the intent.
