The RFDS is a not-for-profit organisation. It relies on fundraising and donations from the community to purchase and medically-equip its aircraft, and to finance other major capital initiatives. Today, the RFDS has a fleet of 67 aircraft operating from 23 bases located across the nation and provides medical assistance to over 280,000 people every year – that’s one every two minutes. 

The RFDS has become the major beneficiary of the Outback Odyssey and will receive a minimum of 75% of the net proceeds from the event. The Outback Odyssey committee and the entrants involved have a strong passion for supporting remote communities and have over the years supported the RFDS in various fundraisers at local towns and stations. We are now dramatically increasing our support of the RFDS by making them a major beneficiary. OZ Outback Odyssey is pleased to confirm that the RFDS will be the major beneficiary for at least the next five years and we see this partnership continuing well into the future.
