Become a Travel Partners Mobile Agent
Travel Partners is an independent travel agency group supporting hundreds of travel entrepreneurs, from home-based sole traders to multi-branch agencies.
We have a large community of both leisure and corporate mobile agents across Australia. These experienced agents enjoy the flexibility of working remotely and running their own business. All mobile agents have the option to use our established brand or develop their own with our support.
As we’re owned and operated by Flight Centre Travel Group, our mobile agents have access to the widest range of product and most competitive rates available Australia-wide, thanks to our strength in the market and our global fares.
What Do You Need to be a Mobile Travel Agent with Travel Partners?
Not much! As a mobile agent, we’ll provide you with all the tools and resources you need to set up and run your own business.
Most of our mobile agents are sole traders who have either been operating independently for some time or are completely new to running their own business. We provide the systems required to run your business (see benefits below) and can guide you through the steps you need to take to get set up as a mobile travel agent.

If you have a physical location, staff and/or turnover above $2M, you’ll probably benefit more from being a member agency. Find out more about that here.
