Listen Later

Jo Mahony who has worked for the RFDS over 20 years as a Nurse Manager at their Charleville Base, one of 23 national Flying Doctor bases around the country. Jo is also a rural mum, and her story provides a special insight into the work that RFDS nurses, doctors and clinicians do that directly impacts so many of rural families. Countless rural women and their families utilise their vital aeromedical and primary healthcare services as they navigate life on the land. Today, Jo gets to do something a bit unique. She gets to tell her own story, and share her life working across remote Australia, while also opening up about how she’s balanced life as a wife and mum to her three daughters. This is her story.

 Thank you to the Royal Flying Doctor Service (Queensland Section) who are our Summer season sponsor. It’s regional, rural and remote nurses just like Jo who support countless families through the RFDS’s vital aeromedical and primary healthcare services every year.
