RFDS South Eastern Section chief executive Greg Sam said the organisation was delighted to be honoured for the past five years.
“This award is testament to the hard work and dedication of the RFDS staff, who helped some 292,000 people across Australia in the past year, and to the connection the Service has with the communities we serve,” Sam said in a statement on Monday.
“ ‘More than a service, part of the community’ has been the ethos of the Flying Doctor throughout its almost 90 year history,” said Sam, who noted that 24 per cent of the RFDS’s funding last year came from donations and bequests.
“The public can be assured that the Flying Doctor provides an excellent return on every fundraising dollar it receives and it’s gratifying to know that we have such strong support for our mission to deliver improved health outcomes to remote, rural and regional communities.”
