In light of the recently released Parliamentary Report on Recommendations Relating to the Delivery of Specific Health Services and Specialist Care, Little Wings reaffirms its commitment to addressing the critical gaps in healthcare access for families in regional and remote areas. The report highlights the challenges faced by regional communities, including paediatric shortages, the demand for care exceeding available resources, and the financial burden of accessing healthcare. Little Wings has been at the forefront of alleviating these challenges, offering over 2,300 missions annually in FY24 alone and supporting thousands of families across New South Wales and Queensland since 2012. As a non-profit organisation, Little Wings provides free air and ground transport for seriously ill children and their families, ensuring they can access life-saving medical services in major cities. Little Wings further alleviates healthcare pressures through its Medical Wings Program, which acts as a crucial means of closing the gap of large waitlists and pressures on local peadeatric services.
