The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RDFS) are hosting their annual Local Hero Awards, recognising Queenslanders who go above and beyond to support their community.
The RFDS began in 1928, providing vital healthcare to regional, rural and remote areas. With nine bases operating throughout the state, they form a strategic network and help deliver the finest healthcare to all Queenslanders.
Without the ongoing support of the communities in which RFDS operate, they simply would not exist. In recognition of this fact, the RFDS Local Hero Awards are the organisation’s way of saying ‘thank you’.
The RFDS recognise nominations of people who make Queensland a healthier, better and more connected place. What unites these individuals is their passion for helping their local community.
A Local Hero could be anyone from a selfless community member who gives their time to help others, to those who have assisted in an emergency, volunteered, or fundraised.
Voting will determine one winner to receive a $20,000 grant provided by Ergon Energy Retail, to create or support a health or wellbeing initiative in their local community.
So, what are you waiting for? If you know someone deserving of this prestigious award, visit rfdslocalhero.com.au to nominate them as a Local Hero!
Nominations for the Local Hero Awards close on 12th December
