How much funding for treatment and control of TB in far north Queensland?
I am not aware TB stops at the PNG border!
Torres Strait islanders come to mind, plus all the northern cattlemen and come and go workers as well as tourist to the region. Then all of us.

JF Aus,
I am not privy to that information but I'm convinced that QLD Health is a major contributor to keep QANTASLINK flying with handsome profits.
Australian Helicopters too are doing extremely well out of providing an aerial ambulance service. I have heard pilots call it something else tough.

Individual,
Do the crews and any passengers on those aircraft have good face masks and hospital-standard hand washing facilities for when TB cases are being knowingly or unknowingly transported in the region?

JF Aus,
Well, they're fairly professional & I suppose anyone getting onto that career bandwagon will doubly ensure not to contract anything.
They do a great job in return for a great career.
