What your average day might look like in this role

Starting the day with a check of our social media channels, you’ll be across who’s posting what, commenting where and how many times they’re hitting the like button.

Next you might get in touch with our graphic designer to brief them on an upcoming advertising campaign for one of our fundraising appeals or partnership campaigns.

After a strategy chat with the team about our upcoming fundraising appeal, you’ll hop on the phone to interview a former patient who’s reached out to us via social media and wants to share their story. Their experience will feature prominently in our upcoming donor letter and will become a compelling case for individuals to donate to the RFDS.

In the afternoon you’ll head into our aircraft hangar to facilitate some filming with our crews. These videos will be used for social media, donor communication, internal communications and general promotion to showcase the work we do for Western Australia.

Rounding out the day, you’ll prepare social media posts for the rest of the week, check in on merchandise sales, have a peek at our website, EDM and social media analytics and process some invoices.



We are driven by our Values of Respect, Fairness, Diversity, and Safety. We offer our team members a unique and dynamic work environment with generous salary packaging options.
