Helping Country Children Access Care Locally

Dusty’s Mission is a community fundraising campaign created to support children and families who face long delays and long-distance travel to access paediatric specialists.

Through Little Wings and its Medical Wings program, specialist doctors can be flown into regional towns, reducing pressure on families and helping children receive care closer to home.

The Mission

Dusty, a 12-year-old from Warren NSW, is walking from Warren to Canberra to raise awareness and funds for children across regional communities.

His goal is to help raise $1 million so more paediatricians can visit country towns and provide face-to-face healthcare for children who should not be left waiting because of where they live.

Why It Matters
