Junior and Middle Secondary

Junior and middle secondary students are currently offered experiences within their Careers Education framework. 

Working in a diverse, multifaceted organisation RFDS Tasmania has a variety of career paths on offer. 

This makes the Royal Flying Doctor Service an attractive invitee to careers days, where we present talks and run hands-on activities for students and their parents.

College and Senior School

We offer colleges and schools with senior secondary year levels the opportunity to participate in our Senior Health Studies Presentations. 

These presentations are based on the Senior Health Studies Curriculum, Unit 3; Health in Australia, and:

  • details health issues in rural and remote areas of Australia
  • investigates the disparity between health outcomes in these areas 
  • outlines the work the Royal Flying Doctor Service is doing to minimise these inequities.
