Uniting Church in Australia. Frontier Services.

Biographical notes:

The Australian Inland Mission was established by the Presbyterian Church of Australia's Board of Inland Missions on the recommendation of Rev. John Flynn, in 1912. Flynn was appointed organizing agent and superintendent. Eight patrols and hospitals in several towns form the basis of A.I.M. activities, which also include the Far North Children's Health Scheme, Old Timer's Homes, hostels and colleges. The Flying Doctor Service was established and administered by the A.I.M. from 1928-1939 at Cloncurry, then was incorporated into the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia.
