RIDE WEST LIMITED
Ride West Limited is an Australian nonprofit organization known for organizing the RideWest charity bike ride, a major biennial cycling event that covers 1,311 kilometers from Brisbane to Longreach, Queensland. The event aims to raise funds and awareness for mental health support programs targeting regional Queensland communities.
History and Purpose
Established in 2010, Ride West Limited has focused its efforts on supporting mental health initiatives for people living in rural and remote areas of Queensland. Over more than a decade, the RideWest charity bike ride has raised nearly two million Australian dollars, contributing significantly to the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) of Australia’s Wellbeing Out West program. This program provides crucial mental health support services to regional Queenslanders, improving access to care and wellbeing in areas often underserved by mainstream health services.
The RideWest Charity Bike Ride
The RideWest cycle event is held every two years and spans eight days. Participants cycle a 1,311-kilometer route starting from Brisbane and finishing in Longreach, traversing multiple regional towns along the way. The ride combines physical endurance with fundraising activities, engaging riders, sponsors, and community partners who share a commitment to supporting regional mental health.
Fundraising and Community Engagement
RideWest relies on the support of sponsors, donors, and event partners to achieve its fundraising goals. The organization’s events include pre-ride fundraising functions such as community lunches and dinners that attract large numbers of supporters. Funds raised through RideWest directly support the RFDS Wellbeing Out West program, enhancing mental health outreach and services in regional Queensland.
Impact
Since its inception, RideWest has become an important event in Queensland’s charitable landscape, fostering awareness of mental health challenges faced in rural communities and generating substantial financial assistance to address these issues. The enduring success of RideWest highlights the power of community engagement and physical challenge in charitable fundraising and advocacy.

Thanks to our riders, sponsors, and supporters, the RFDS Wellbeing Out West program delivered more mental health care than ever across rural and remote Queensland this year - including 959 counselling sessions (17.5% above target), outreach to dozens of communities, and vital resources like the Mental Health and Wellbeing on the Land guide. “The awareness you raise and the support you provide continue to make a difference long after each ride concludes.” – Meredith Staib, CEO RFDS QLD Your support is breaking down stigma, reaching isolated areas, and ensuring no one is left behind. Together, we’re making a lasting difference. (fb)
Two weeks ago we rolled out for a pre-official @ridewestaust training ride and coffee. Almost 50km of good roads, great company and plenty of laughs along the way. The peloton enjoyed meeting some new faces and riding alongside friends we’ve shared the road with for years. Counting down to the real training season kicking off soon! 🧡 (fb)
