With the current COVID-19 situation the Ride Along Program has been postponed until further notice. If you have questions, or would like any clarification, please don’t hesitate to call and we will endeavour to provide you with an accurate response.

Ride-Along is an observational attachment with the Royal Flying Doctor Service which provides eligible medical and nursing students a great experience of rural health care in South Australia.
