Farewell to Ralph Doedens
As Ralph Doedens retires from the RACT Board this November, we celebrate his impactful career and unwavering commitment to the Tasmanian community.
Ralph joined RACT Insurance as CFO in 2000, playing a pivotal role in significant organisational growth, including implementing GST and integrating the Tasmanian GIO insurance book. As RACT Insurance CEO, he launched the Tasmanian Youth Portraiture Prize in 2008, boosting many artists’ careers.
After working with Allianz Insurance on the mainland, Ralph returned to Tasmania and joined the RACT Board in 2018. His extensive insurance industry experience, analytical skills and innovative approach greatly benefited RACT, helping it grow to represent over 218,000 members.
Beyond RACT, Ralph’s community service is notable. As CEO of Mosaic Support Services, he provided essential services for people with disabilities. He also volunteers with Crime Stoppers Tasmania and co-founded the Supported Affordable Accommodation Trust for vulnerable Tasmanians.
We thank Ralph for his invaluable contributions and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
