OIC Kerry Dillon Retires

Queensland Ambulance Service’s (QAS’s) Magnetic Island Officer-in-Charge (OIC) Kerry Dillon retires after 42 years of service.

After starting his career in 1983 as an Ambulance Officer with the former Queensland Ambulance Transport Brigade, Mr Dillon was permanently appointed as an OIC in 1998 and his outstanding career has seen him undertake relieving duties as Area Manager and Regional Manager Operations Support for the Townsville District.

Mr Dillon has been the OIC at “the best place to work” – or Magnetic Island – for over 20 years. In 2023 Officer Dillon was awarded  an Ambulance Service Medal (ASM) as part of the Australia Day 2023 Honours List.

We take this opportunity to thank Kerry for his tireless efforts for our community.

We wish him and his wife Claire all the very best for the future.
