“Peace of mind when managed by the professionals”
“We have been working with Phil Hoffman Travel for a number of years now, organising interstate and overseas travel for our extensive Outdoor Education program.
Anne and the team have been fantastic to work with particularly as we navigate the complexities of a school organised trip. Their level of flexibility and prompt communication with changing requirements has always been appreciated.
As the primary organiser of our trips, I have always felt peace of mind knowing that the flight element of trips was being managed by the professionals in the industry.
Phil Hoffman Travel have provided us with a excellent quality of service and have always been friendly and professional in our dealings with them. I would highly recommend handing over your school group travel bookings to them.”

Canberra Educational Tours & PACER Support
- The Australian Government recognizes the value of visiting Canberra as part of the civics and citizenship curriculum and actively promotes these educational experiences for students. To support school groups, financial assistance is available through the PACER (Parliament and Civics Education Rebate) program for students in Years 4 to 12 who travel to the nation’s capital.
- Rebate amounts range from $20 to $260 per student, with the exact amount determined by the distance travelled from the school to Canberra. To be eligible, schools must include visits to four approved national institutions, one of which must be Parliament House, along with other key sites such as the Australian War Memorial. We can take care of everything — from assisting with itinerary planning to ensuring your tour meets all PACER eligibility requirements — so your school can focus on delivering a meaningful and enriching educational experience.
