OC 1988

Steven Wallace always dreamed of becoming a pilot and serving the community. His initial plan to join the militarycould not be fulfilled due to being short sighted. After this setback, Steven embarked on a 10-year career in the banking industry. During this time Steve gained flying hours privately and obtained his commercial aviation license. Steve now works as a pilot for the Royal Flying Doctor Service's Queensland section and is a great role model in his workplace, in the community and for his family.

His commitment to the Mercy ethos is demonstrated by his passion for helping people in need, he shows compassion to patients who are often enduring the most stressful times of their lives, and he serves and treats all patients equally. The RFDS services Indigenous and remote communities in regional Australia and Steven has shown immense courage flying in difficult conditions.
