We’re proud to welcome Red Planet Software as the 2025 Naming Rights Sponsor of the Outback Air Race. This partnership adds a powerful new layer to our collective fundraising mission for the Royal Flying Doctor Service, and brings one of our own into the spotlight.
With a familiar face in the pilot seat, Red Planet Software CEO Peter Williams will return for his fifth Outback Air Race. This time, he’s flying not only as a competitor but as the leader of the company now backing the entire race.
A Sponsor in the Sky
Peter’s journey with the OAR spans years and thousands of kilometres. As a licensed pilot and passionate advocate for the RFDS, he’s no stranger to the flight plan, the fundraising, or the fuel stops.For Williams and the Red Planet Software team, this sponsorship is about more than visibility. It’s about values.
“The Royal Flying Doctor Service and the insurance industry are both built on the same promise, to show up when it matters,” said Williams.
“At Red Planet Software, we support insurers, brokers and funders with flexible software solutions. This race allows us to show that same spirit of service in a new way. Beyond business, and into the communities that need it most.”
Behind the scenes, Red Planet Software is a leading provider of premium funding solutions, powering over $8 billion in repayments annually across Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States.
With a legacy of 35 years of industry experience, their focus remains on innovation, trust, and supporting the communities that rely on them. This year, the company brings its support to one of Australia’s most important causes, helping the RFDS deliver essential care across the outback.
Fundraising with Purpose
As the Naming Rights Sponsor, Red Planet Software is proud to stand alongside the teams, supporters, and volunteers who make the Outback Air Race possible.
The goal remains the same: raise as much as we can to support life-saving access to care.
And like all of you, the RPS team is not just here for the flight. They’re here for the people and the purpose.
An Invitation to Be Part of the Journey
The Red Planet Software Outback Air Race 2025 is more than a race. It’s a rallying point for purpose-driven business, community spirit, and a chance to support the RFDS in a way that truly makes a difference.
