OXIANA DIGGING DEEP FOR THE FLYING DOCTOR

The Royal Flying Doctor Service is delighted to announce that successful mining company Oxiana Limited, which owns the Prominent Hill mine in the north of South Australia, has entered into a major new partnership with the iconic Service. Oxiana’s financial package will be used by the RFDS to finance the purchase of new aircraft and vital medical equipment.

Oxiana Chief Executive & Managing Director, Owen Hegarty commented, “Health and safety is of the utmost importance to Oxiana and we see our contribution as a direct means of supporting our own staff at Prominent Hill and the broader community at large who will also benefit.”

RFDS Corporate Partnerships Manager, Simon Peucker said “The RFDS is extremely grateful to Oxiana for its increased level of support for the RFDS. Through its programs in Australia and Laos, where it also has a substantial operation, Oxiana has made a very demonstrable commitment to supporting important community initiatives. In the case of the RFDS, Oxiana’s contribution will help to ensure that our crews can continue to provide timely emergency evacuations whilst expanding the range of preventative health care services that we provide to rural and remote communities.”
