RFDS Local Hero Awards
The RFDS Local Hero Awards recognise Queenslanders who go above and beyond to support their community. To thank these exceptional Queenslanders, one winner will receive a $20,000 grant provided by Ergon Energy Retail to create or support a health or wellbeing initiative in the community.

The Flying Doctor could not exist without the ongoing support of the communities in which we operate. The RFDS Local Hero Awards are our way of saying thank you and recognising those who make Queensland a healthier, better, and more connected place. A 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. What unites these individuals is their passion for helping their community. Once nominations are received, nine local heroes one for each region in which we operate and their stories will be shared. From there, voting will open to crown our RFDS Queensland Hero.
