Let me say a big thankyou
to the passengers that
travelled with us over the
past 12 months and welcome
to the new passengers that
we will meet in the next
12 months, it is the most
rewarding feeling giving
our passengers the holiday
of a lifetime!
Another year and some great memories along with very happy passengers that have had the holiday of a
lifetime, within the supported holiday sector it is always important to be able to offer more holidays with
good variety when on route or at our final destinations.
NDIS
I didnt think anyone can deny that the introduction has been a very turbulent time and has made some very significant changes to how the sector operates.
At ClubMates we are constantly learning and developing with the many changes the NDIS brings and each of our booking agents has had training in the
basics of what can be offered via the NDIS funding. To date we have seen supported holidays claimed in part and we expect that the NDIA will keep tight
controls of the costs. The main areas of NDIS funding that can be claimed is the supports when passengers are enjoying their holiday.
Website
Our website has seen some good growth and passengers and their support staff are using it more frequently, it is still a challenge to book a supported
holiday effectively on line but with the advancement in technology I can see it is not too far from being a reality, of course we are always happy to speak
to our passengers and staff, and in fact we enjoy the calls!!
Social Media
We are improving our interaction on all social media channels all the time and love the engagement from our passengers and their support staff, social
media is an ever-evolving way of communicating and all of us at ClubMates enjoy the challenge of its development.

assist in the accessible tourism, with no preconceived ideas Peter went to work to develop a market leading travel booking
