Behind every unforgettable Australian holiday is a travel expert who knows Australia inside and out... could that be you?

We're on the hunt for a Luxury Travel Consultant to join a leading premium travel business. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced inbound travel consultant with deep knowledge of Australia and a passion for designing high-end, tailor-made experiences.

If you've worked in inbound travel consulting, have extensive personal and professional experience across Australia, and love creating unique itineraries that go beyond the mainstream, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll be responsible for designing and selling luxury, tailor-made Australian holidays, working closely with international travel agents and clients to create exceptional experiences from enquiry through to travel.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Designing high-end, tailor-made Australian itineraries based on each client's interests, preferences and travel style
• Using your deep knowledge of Australian destinations, regions and experiences to create unique and compelling itineraries
• Consulting with international travel agents and clients to understand their requirements and translate them into exceptional travel experiences
• Preparing detailed quotes, converting enquiries into bookings and maximising sales and upselling opportunities
• Selecting premium accommodation, experiences, tours, transfers and other travel services
• Managing enquiries via phone and email and providing a highly personalised level of service
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with Australian suppliers and travel partners
• Managing client itineraries from initial enquiry through to travel and monitoring arrangements while clients are in Australia
• Keeping up to date with new Australian destinations, luxury properties, experiences and products
• Sharing destination knowledge, market intelligence and client feedback with the wider team
• Participating in an after-hours/on-call roster as required
• Maintaining accurate client and booking information across travel systems

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone with genuine inbound travel consulting experience and an exceptional knowledge of Australia.

You’ll ideally have:

• Deep Australian destination knowledge - you know the country's regions, destinations, accommodation and experiences beyond the obvious tourist hotspots
• Previous inbound travel consulting experience - experience designing and selling Australian holidays to international clients is highly desirable
• Extensive personal travel experience throughout Australia
• Experience within luxury, premium or tailor‑made travel
• A strong sales orientation combined with a genuine customer‑service mindset
• Creativity and the ability to design unique, personalised itineraries
• An understanding of the B2B2C travel environment and working with international travel agents
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Outstanding attention to detail and organisational skills

• A genuine passion for Australian travel and creating exceptional client experiences
