About us

InTravel Group is a boutique corporate travel management company with a story no competitor can tell: 100% Indigenous-owned and truly purpose-led, built over 12 years from a standing start to a team of 15, managing customer travel programs of every type, size and complexity, Australia-wide. Our customers choose us for genuinely personalised service in an industry that has become somewhat transactional, and they stay because every dollar they spend with us is generating real social impact. While our ownership is Indigenous, our team is not one story, we bring together people of all nationalities and backgrounds, and we celebrate that. What unites us is a shared purpose: Indigenous and non-Indigenous people working side by side in true unity, contributing to social outcomes together. Our mission says it best: to set the standard for trusted, purpose-led customer relationships while driving meaningful impact for the communities we serve.
