Travel
Goodstart strives for value-for-money travel options, and travellers are required to fly on the best fare of the day with either Qantas or Virgin Australia (with regional areas covered by Regional Express, Skywest, and Skytrans). Personal preferences are not taken into consideration. If you wish to travel on a specific airline you may do so by personally contributing the difference in cost between Goodstart’s in-policy flight and your personal preference.
Hire cars will be booked as a standard class automatic vehicles unless otherwise requested. Hire cars booked through the formal travel booking system are insured to be driven by any Goodstart employee.
A list of preferred hotels, based on value for money and location across key destinations, is found in the Goodstart Travel Requirement. Travellers who require accommodation outside of these regions can nominate their preferred hotel or request their Travel Booker find an appropriate hotel on their behalf.
All accommodation bookings are subject to cost and availability.
