Logo for Australian Air Race Events Inc. T/A the Outback Air Race

Australian Air Race Events Inc. is a volunteer organisation that raises funds for the RFDS by staging the Outback Air Race every 3 years. The Lottery Office Outback Air Race is a time trial through the remote Australian Outback. It isn’t really a race – but it does get very competitive, although it is also a lot of fun. Every team fundraises for the RFDS in the twelve months leading up to the race. Essentially a navigationally challenging and self funded adventure holiday for the Pilots and teams, they get to fly to and meet people in parts of Australia that many do not get to see. Since 1996 competitors and spectators have raised about $4 million. Funds from each race go towards outfitting RFDS aircraft with essential medical equipment, vital for treating sick and injured patients.
