From tourist to team member: meet Mitchell
To Mitchell... it's about the RFDS story, and becoming part of it.
In 2019, after visiting the RFDS Darwin Tourist Facility for the first time, Mitchell Stennett became enamoured by stories of the Flying Doctor and the Bombing of Darwin.
Drawn to the history and interactive displays, Mitchell was eager to learn more about how he could get involved and support the RFDS.
At the time, the then 19-year-old had just finished school and was a client of WISE Employment, a Disability Employment Services provider.
“Mitchell first came here with his family and loved the aircraft and the whole experience,” RFDS Darwin Tourist Facility Coordinator Nerida Atkins said.
“He and his mother approached our manager, as he was really keen to explore employment opportunities… and the rest is history.”
Shortly after the visit, the RFDS supported Mitchell to join the team as a part-time Customer Service Assistant and he has never looked back.
