Rebecca Tomkinson, chief executive Royal Flying Doctor Service WA

Transforming an icon – stories from the cockpit

When there’s an emergency in the bush, the flying doctor is where we turn for help. Behind the scenes, the Royal Flying Doctor Service WA is continually innovating to make this happen.

Rebecca Tomkinson is leading the organisation through a transformation of the business, as technology expands the frontiers of medical possibility, and as the organisation enters a new era with two Rio Tinto LifeFlight PC-24 jets joining the fleet bringing increased speed and capacity.

Rebecca has led the business for 20 months, and is the first female chief executive of the service anywhere in Australia. Join us for breakfast to hear how Rebecca is changing the organisation, pursuing emerging opportunities and how her early career taught her valuable lessons for leadership.
