School & Community Charters

One careless driver can risk more than 40 precious lives. One missed check can turn a school trip into a nightmare. MILNE Group Travel & Tours is a proudly Australian family-owned and operated business, The SAFEST Name in Bus Charter, with every vehicle passing 35+ inspection checks daily and every driver tracked and monitored for behaviour and speed in real-time.

One Driver’s Slip Could Cost 40+ Families Everything​

School Travel Experts

One tiny slip. One ignored warning. One distracted moment. That’s all it takes to ruin the trust a school has built for years. 

MILNE Group Travel & Tours strongly refuses to let that happen. Here’s how:

  • Every driver is carefully vetted, not just licensed, but meticulously trained to stay calm, focused, and respectful under pressure.
  • We run the highest level of background checks, along with child-care tests on every person behind the wheel. No exceptions.
  • GPS, driving behaviour systems, and CCTV keep the entire trip monitored from start to finish. No blind spots.
  • Each coach is inspected through over 35 checkpoints before it leaves. If something doesn’t pass, it doesn’t roll.
  • Delays don’t happen because we build time buffers, route checks, and on-call backup into every trip.

With MILNE Group Travel & Tours, you’re not hoping it goes well. You’re guaranteed it will.

Parents Should Breathe Easy the Moment They See the Coach

Parents Should Breathe Easy the Moment They See the Coach

The coach that pulls up shouldn’t raise eyebrows or cause concern.. It should silence every doubt in a parent’s mind.

Because school trips start long before the bus moves, they start the moment a parent watches their child climb aboard and wave goodbye. MILNE Group Travel & Tours makes that moment feel perfect.

We don’t send clapped-out buses that make strange noises or use mystery drivers in weird clothing. We have the most comfortable coaches for school trips, the kind that reassures every parent watching from the curb.

  • Clean premium interiors that feel fresh, with a reverse cycle air conditioner.
  • Premium seating that keeps kids comfortable for hours, not squirming by noon.
  • Smooth, quiet rides with suspension that doesn’t jolt or shake.
  • Pick underfloor storage for clear aisles or step-free boarding for easy access.

Comfort isn’t just about seats and air-conditioning. It’s about the message it sends: your school cares the most about safety and quality. Your organisers planned perfectly well. Your coach provider doesn’t treat the job like a job.

With MILNE Group Travel & Tours, comfort isn’t optional. It’s what earns trust before the wheels even turn.

You’re carrying the unspoken trust of dozens of families, so go with the company that guarantees safety and comfort.
