16.01.2022 Sadly, I need to officially announce that Travel Counsellors Australia is ceasing trade effective 31st January 2021. I am not sure what the future holds in store for my business or me at this point as I am now looking at options. I want to reassure all of my clients that hold any form of travel credit or booking with me that you have nothing to worry about though and all existing credits and bookings will be honoured. Thank you so much for the last 5 years of support and watch this space...

Thats why, when you book with me, you can rest assured that you will have the choice, flexibility and bespoke service that promises complete peace of mind when looking forward to your well-earned break or business trip.

14.01.2022 Even though the borders are shut right now and things look glum... the world will open up again one day. If you are looking for a special gift for someone that likes to travel, or who maybe had to put travel plans on hold, I can provide personalised gift vouchers. They can be used for anything and everything travel and dont have an expiry date... give the gift of travel, the gift that keeps on giving

Named in the top 40 destinations t...o travel in 2019 it is somewhere that has so much to offer, that so many overlook... why not fly Perth to Taipei with a stopover in Singapore or KL for some retail therapy Take a look at some of the photos below and if you feel inspired, curious even.. get in touch to find out more about this amazing destination so that you can be ready! #Taiwan #TravelTaiwan #LetMeTakeYouThere

04.01.2022 A little update on quarantine requirements for travellers returning to WA as of now. It is a period of 14 days in a government appointed hotel. Please keep in mind that this is an ever changing policy though, so be sure to check for changes if relevant to you or someone you know, prior to entering WA... Western Australia (WA )will start charging for quarantine hotels from 17 July. The government has not yet provided a pricing scale but it will probably align with those of NSW... and SA. A month-long cap on arrival of 525 international passengers per week, about 75 a day, started July 12. Heres a breakdown of the costs you face and what it will get you in NSW, as an indication of what WA may introduce: The NWS pricing model is $3,000 for an adult traveler, $1,000 per additional adult from the same family and $500 per child. Children under 3 are free. The fixed cost includes meals and hotel room costs the government says. The NSW Government will continue to fund security, transport and logistics.
