The RFDS in NSW/ACT

Governance

The Royal Flying Doctor Service (South Eastern Section) is led by a Board of Directors who provide strategic oversight and governance to ensure we continue delivering vital healthcare to rural, regional and remote communities across NSW and beyond.

Our Board brings together diverse expertise in healthcare, aviation, business, and rural community leadership to guide our organisation's mission of ensuring that distance is no barrier to quality healthcare. They oversee our commitment to safety, quality and performance while supporting our people and partnerships that make our vital work possible.

Operating under our constitution, the Board sets the strategic direction that enables our organisation to evolve and adapt to meet the changing healthcare needs of the communities we serve. This strategic oversight ensures our organisation remains financially sustainable while staying true to our core mission: providing a 'mantle of safety' to everyone who lives, works, and travels across rural, regional and remote Australia.
