An Australian man who was reportedly king-hit outside a Bali nightclub will be flown in an induced coma to Perth.
THE family of an Australian man who was reportedly king-hit outside a Bali nightclub say they are "overwhelmed with the love, support and concern from everyone".
Australian surf school instructor Matt Scarff, from Melbourne, was punched by a stranger when he went to the aid of a woman outside a Bali nightclub on Friday night, suffering a head injury.
His family released a statement on Wednesday evening, saying: "The doctors and medical staff at Sanglah Bali have been amazing and we cannot thank them enough.
"We ask that the media respect our family's privacy and do not approach us for further comment as we need to concentrate on Matt.
"We are looking forward to getting him back to Australia and will provide more information through our fundraising site.
Friends of an Australian man king hit in Bali are raising money for him to be medically evacuated to Darwin.
"Thank you again for all your kind wishes and support."
Mr Scarff is being flown in an induced coma to Perth by a CareFlight medical team.
"Matt has had an operation to remove a clot and release the pressure pressure on his brain," his cousin Tony Maguire wrote on an online fundraiser page on Tuesday.
"He has immediate family and close friends by his hospital bedside in Bali but is doing it tough."
Injured Aussie surf instructor Matt Scarff is being flown to Perth in an induced coma after being king-hit in Bali last Friday night.
Mr Maguire wrote that his cousin was uninsured and the family was bearing the $45,000 cost of the flight back to Australia.
He asked friends to help, and more than $48,000 has already been raised, with additional funds to go towards Mr Scarff's rehabilitation.
A doctor and nurse team will fly on the medi-jet based in Darwin for CareFlight International Air Ambulance.
CareFlight makes a trip to Bali to collect injured Australians at least once a month, says director Ian Badham.
Australian Matt Scarff, who was king-hit in Bali last Friday, played for the Bali Geckos.
"It's often fractures, head injuries, spinal injuries, or it's older people who have been on a cruise and had a cardiac problem and been offloaded - it depends on the age group," he told AAP. "This guy was very unlucky, he went to the aid of a lady and got bashed for his trouble."
Mr Scarff's sister Anna said he's been very well looked after at Sanglah Hospital in Bali, Mr Badham said.
"They do a good job, but he is in an induced coma and our doctor and nurse will be continuing his treatment on the flight down to Perth."
Mr Scarff was expected to land in Perth at 7pm tonight (WST).
