We begin by collaborating closely with you to understand your specific goals and educational objectives, as listen to your school trip ideas. In our initial discussions we’ll gather information around your schools’ preferred dates, budget, goals and destinations. Maybe you’re keen on one of our existing programs, or perhaps you’re looking to build something new from scratch! Whatever it is, we’re here to support you to meet your goals.

From there, we’ll provide a customised program proposal that includes destination options, itineraries, quotes and everything the school needs to know to get your tour approved and off the ground. Read more about the collaboration stage in the FAQs below.

Once we have approval to move forward, it’s time to start planning your journey! You will be assigned their own Group Travel Coordinator who will guide you through the pre-departure process. The’ GTC’ is the single point of contact at Infuse to provide program information, administrative support and guidance. See them as your expert on speed dial! We’ll launch the trip to students and parents, and provide exciting marketing support to generate as much interest as possible within your school community.

Preparation is key to a successful program, and we are committed to ensuring that all participants and their families feel informed, supported and excited about their upcoming adventure.

The Infuse team will deliver detailed pre-departure information sessions, as well as provide financial, administrative and logistical support for both schools and families. So things like trip bookings, finances and payment plans, flight bookings, trip leader selection and training, travel insurance, medical information, risk management and risk assessments are all taken care of. Sounding good so far?

Once we’re crossed all the t’s, and dotted all the i’s - it’s time to travel. Our hand-picked Program Leaders will take care of all logistics on the ground, while we are on 24-hour backup and support from our Australian office - making your travel experience as smooth as possible. We employ the best leaders in the industry. Thoroughly vetted and trained, our leaders are Wilderness First Aid Qualified, First Aid and CPR certified, and 25+ years of age. Many have multiple additional certifications to add to their CV. On top of all that, they’re incredible people who will ensure every trip is a memorable one.

We also enlist the support of a dedicated safety and risk management advisor, a medical director and a mental health practitioner via our partnership with Cornerstone Safety Group. Combined with our Australian and international network of industry professionals, Infuse is extremely well-resourced when it comes to safety and support of your travelling group.

Once students return from their Infuse Travel program, we want them to continue to feel supported and part of a community. The objectives of the post-travel phase are to:

• Foster a global community of engaged and empathetic young people who share a commitment to social and environmental justice.
• Empower students to apply the lessons and skills they gained from their travel experiences to effect positive change in their own lives and communities.
• Provide ongoing resources and support for students’ personal growth and development, including access to educational and leadership opportunities, mentorship, and networking.
• Continuously evaluate and improve our programs to ensure they are impactful, ethical, and sustainable, and that they align with our values of cultural exchange, community service, adventure, and education.

Through our post-travel phase, we strive to continue to support and empower students beyond their program experience. We offer a variety of resources and opportunities for students to stay engaged and connected with the Infuse Travel community. This includes access to alumni events, online resources and tools, and ongoing support from our team.
