The Royal Flying Doctor Service was initiated in the Kimberley by Reverend John Flynn and the first base established for the Kimberley was built in Wyndham. This service lasted until 1985 when the base was closed down and then eventually moved to Derby in 1990. The Royal Flying Doctor Service played a major role in the establishment of better health and care in the Kimberley. Wyndham has a prominent place in history as the first base in the Kimberley.
The Royal Flying Doctor Service Base consists of two separate buildings, a residence and office, located on the western side of the Three Mile commercial shopping strip. The original base was established in the old hospital grounds in O'Donnell Street and moved to the above buildings in 1950s.
