ERIN LORD - FLYING HIGH TO SAVE LIVES

Fri, 2 Oct 2020

With over 25 years in management with Australian public service, the Royal Flying Doctor Service and the University sector, Erin Lord strives to make complex situations simple. Her current work as Director of Aeromedical Solutions, Australia’s only medical repatriation broker sees her and her co – Director Steve McLaren arrange the return of Australians who have been injured or suffered an illness overseas.

“It’s an incredibly complex situation for families to work their way through, you have the emotion and fear for your loved one as well as the complexities of both the clinical situation presenting at the time and then you add the aviation aspects and it’s pretty easy to see why you might be out of your depth”.

Over the past year Aeromedical Solutions has assisted more than 40 patients and their families with their return home. They’ve extended their offer to work with Governments and insurance companies with the aim to disrupt the market and find different platforms to return patients home and provide 24/7 care and contact with families throughout the journey home.

A committed Gippslander, Erin works from home in Sale and enjoys the challenge of assisting people all around the world in what is often the worst moment in their lives. In fact she considers it nothing short of a privilege.
