    Speaking to someone is usually the fastest way to start.

    Our medical transfer desk is staffed 24 hours. You do not need complete information to make the first call, the current location of the patient and where they need to go is enough to begin.

    Patient information is treated as sensitive. Medical detail and uploaded reports go only to the clinical and operations coordinators handling the case, are never placed in web addresses, and are never shared with advertising or analytics platforms.

    Medevac from Fiji, the central Pacific gateway

    Fiji (Nadi NAN/NFFN and Suva SUV) is the hub the central Pacific relies on for medical movement, both for residents and for the large visitor population. Aviall arranges fixed-wing air ambulance and medical evacuation from Fiji to Australia, New Zealand and beyond, working to the clinical picture rather than a fixed aircraft type.

    Every mission is owned by a single coordinator on a 24/7 desk. Clinical teams, aircraft sourcing, ground ambulance staging and cross-border clearances are managed door-to-door.

    When to call for a Fiji medevac

    Pacific demand spans tourist incidents, resident repatriation to definitive care, and outer-island retrieval where local capability is limited.

    • Tourist repatriation to Australia, New Zealand or home country after illness or injury
    • ICU-grade transfer with ventilator, infusion pumps, monitoring and clinical escort
    • Outer-island and remote retrieval where clinical capability is limited
    • Diving and marine incident response with appropriate cabin-altitude management
    • Neonatal and paediatric transfer with isolette-compatible loading
    • Insurer- and assistance-company-driven cross-border cases

    Aircraft and clinical configurations from Fiji

    The airframe is matched to range, runway and clinical fit-out. Over-water sectors and outer-island strips shape the selection.

    • Midsize jet, extended-range ICU fit-out for repatriation to Australia and New Zealand
    • Long-range jet, onward international repatriation with ventilator support
    • Light jet, shorter Pacific sectors and single-stretcher missions
    • Turboprop, strip-capable airframes for outer-island retrieval
    • Commercial wide-body stretcher where airline approvals and timing allow

    Coordination model from Fiji

    One coordinator runs it from referral to receiving bedside, following the flight live and documenting each clinical handover.

    • 24/7 medical activation desk on a single number
    • Our clinical lead speaks to both the treating and receiving teams
    • Ground ambulance staged at origin and destination
    • Customs, immigration and diplomatic clearances on cross-border missions
    • MEDIF, oxygen calculations and airline approvals where commercial uplift is used
    • One point of contact across insurer, assistance company and next of kin

    Medical transfer & repatriation desk

    Request a medical transfer

    You do not need a complete clinical picture to contact us. Tell us where the patient is and where they need to go, and a coordinator will start assessing options, aircraft, clinical configuration, crewing, clearances and ground ambulance, while the rest of the information is still being gathered.

    Enough to start

    • Where the patient is now

      City or country, and the facility type if you know it

    • Where they need to go

      City, country, or receiving hospital if already arranged

    • Rough timing

      Today, within 24 hours, or later this week

    • How they are travelling

      Seated, wheelchair, stretcher, or intensive care, an estimate is fine

    Helpful, but can follow

    • A medical report, discharge summary or fit-to-fly assessment, uploaded securely
    • Treating team or transfer-desk contact, so our clinical coordinator can speak with them directly
    • Insurer, assistance company or funding arrangement, if one applies
    • Receiving hospital acceptance, where that is still being organised

    Clinical acceptance and aircraft availability are confirmed after review by the clinical team and the receiving facility. Contacting us does not by itself confirm a flight, a crew or acceptance of the patient.

    Or email medical reports and case detail to charters@aviall.com.au

    Privacy: patient details and uploaded reports are handled as sensitive information, stored in restricted storage, and passed only to the coordinators and clinicians working the case. They are never written into web addresses, advertising platforms or analytics events.

    Representative mission profiles drawn from recurring work. Identifying details, operators, hospitals, routes, aircraft tail numbers, are intentionally omitted.

    International · Repatriation

    Long-range stretcher repatriation across the Pacific

    A complex case with ventilator and infusion support required movement from a regional Pacific facility back to a domestic tertiary centre. Aviall configured a long-range jet with a critical-care medical fit-out, coordinated bed-to-bed handover with both treating teams, and managed customs and immigration at each stop.

    Outcome

    Bed-to-bed transfer completed without clinical deterioration en route.

    Neonatal · Critical

    Neonatal transfer to a tertiary paediatric centre

    A neonate requiring escalated care had to be moved from a regional hospital to a metropolitan paediatric tertiary centre. Aviall coordinated an aeromedical aircraft and a specialist retrieval team, with isolette-compatible loading and parent transit on the same airframe.

    Outcome

    Patient delivered to receiving NICU within the clinical window agreed by both teams.

    Remote · Mining medevac

    Trauma extraction from a remote mine site

    An incident at a remote mine site required immediate movement of a trauma patient to a metropolitan trauma centre. Aviall launched on the standing medevac protocol, with a clinical team mobilised in parallel and the receiving trauma team pre-briefed before take-off.

    Outcome

    Patient on the operating table at the receiving centre well inside the planned window.

    Why operators, brokers and end clients keep calling back

    Credibility built on operational discipline, not marketing

    "Single point of clinical accountability from the call to bed-to-bed handover. Our retrieval team had everything they needed before wheels-up."

    , Aeromedical retrieval lead · Tertiary hospital network

    "The case management discipline matched our internal standards. That is unusual in the assistance market."

    , Operations director · International medical assistance company

    "Aircraft selection was driven by the patient's clinical picture, not by what was on the apron. That is the right way around."
