Sometime RFDS Sections/Operations need to create a new webpage external to main RFDS website that has different functionality. To ensure this site appears trustworthy and consistent to the user, it must be created as a subdomain. 


To do so, we recommend you inform Federation Office of your plans before you engage with a digital agency as it is very possible we already have that functionality or there is an opportunity for collaboration at a lower cost. 


If you do proceed and need to create a subdomain lodge a ticket with the below details:

  1. The suggested subdomain/CName i.e     yournamehere.flyingdoctor.org.au 
  2. Federation office will approve or make suggestions in terms of branding (Need to ensure that URL is available)
  3. Federation office IT support will assist with set-up of a DNS record for your subdomain and may requires some back and forth to gain all technical details. We will need you to provide the 'TYPE' i.e. CNAME and the page to which the new domain needs to point to.  


Please note that an RFDS subdomain needs to be of highest quality and meet all the brand standards for the RFDS. The subdomain can have a negative impact on the Search Engine Optimization of the main RFDS website if it is not managed correctly.
