On Assignment

During the last quarter, 55 staff from Australia and 11 from New Zealand covered 69 assignments in 23 countries with MSF. 

This list of project staff comprises only those recruited by MSF Australia who have given permission for their names to be used. We also wish to recognise other Australians and New Zealanders who have contributed to MSF programs worldwide but are not listed because they joined the organisation overseas.
