The dean of medicine, Professor Bruce Robinson, says the money will be used to establish a Centre for Indigenous Health.

He says medical specialists and students will provide clinics in areas including Bourke, Dubbo and Brewarrina by July.

"Some of them of them will be based out there for two- or four-week periods and others will go on the flights," he said.

"The flights will not just contain medical people, there may well be dentists, physiotherapists, speech pathologists, diabetes educators, paediatrists - those sort of people.

"Allied health staff will also accompany the medical specialists on those flights."

The donation is aimed at helping combat health problems in remote communities.

Bourke Aboriginal Health Service chief executive Judy Johnson says the outreach clinics will save lives.

She says many Aboriginal people in Bourke do not have cars or are too old to travel long distances to see specialists.

"We now have a cardiologist come to the Bourke Aboriginal Health Service through the ISOT program," she said.

"Not only has his being here saved lives, it enables our people to go and see the cardiologist, have tests done and put them on the right medication, so it gives them a better quality of life."
