Stage and Screen has been operating since 1995, with more than 30 years of specialist experience supporting elite sport, entertainment, and creative industries. Over three decades, we have built the supplier relationships, industry networks, and operational expertise to manage travel programs ranging from grass-roots squads to Olympic teams, indie productions to major studio shoots, and emerging artists to global tours.

Generalist travel management companies treat travel as a transaction. We treat it as part of the performance. Our specialism is travel for productions, tours, and teams where timing, logistics, and pressure are non-negotiable. We work as part of your touring or production operation, aligning travel with rehearsal schedules, shoot days, recovery cycles, and competition calendars. Our after-hours team is based in Australia, not offshore, with full booking authority to resolve issues in real time. We bring industry-specific capabilities including music freight and customs, entertainment visa expertise, VIP and celebrity discretion, group travel for teams of any size, and 24/7 crisis management.

Stage and Screen specialises in five industries. Sport covers professional teams, national sporting bodies, athletes, support staff, and major event delivery including Olympic, Paralympic, Commonwealth Games, and World Cup events. Film, television, and production covers feature films, scripted series, broadcast news, live events, and documentary productions, scaling from indie to major studio. Music, touring, and performing arts covers recording artists, touring bands, orchestras, theatre companies, festivals, and dance ensembles. Creative industries covers advertising agencies, fashion and beauty brands, media companies, and tourism bodies.

Stage and Screen is headquartered in Australia and delivers travel programs across more than 95 countries. We have managed travel for clients to every major sporting event, film market, music festival, and creative campaign destination in the world. Our coverage includes Olympic and Paralympic Games host cities, FIFA World Cup nations, ICC Cricket tournament locations, major film production hubs, and festival circuits across Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific. As part of Flight Centre Travel Group, we have access to a global supplier network spanning hundreds of airlines and over two million accommodation options.

Yes. Our after-hours support is delivered by a dedicated team of travel specialists based in Australia, available 24/7. Unlike offshore call centres, our after-hours specialists are experienced travel professionals with full access to bookings and the authority to resolve issues on the spot. Travellers reach us through a dedicated 1-800 number and email accessible globally. As General Manager Wonitta Atkins explains: "When you call or email at 2am because flights are cancelled, you get an Australian-based travel expert who can fix it immediately, not someone offshore reading from a script, or a 9-5 rotating staff member who takes the phone home that night."

Crisis management is built into our service model. Our capabilities have been proven at scale, including the relocation of more than 1,000 NRL players and staff in 72 hours during the 2021 COVID crisis (zero COVID breaches, season saved), and the delivery of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Australia 2022 across seven cities with 2,243 passengers, 187 flights, 19 hotels, 20,181 room nights, and 97 vans and trucks. Our crisis capabilities include real-time incident monitoring, the ability to track, locate, and alert affected travellers, increased staffing during mass disruption, immediate personal assistance, and strategic supplier partnerships for priority access during emergencies.

Yes. We coordinate freight for touring equipment, production gear, and sporting equipment, locally and internationally. Our specialism includes instruments and AV equipment for music tours, lighting rigs and camera cases for film and TV productions, recovery and performance gear for sporting teams, and creative production equipment for agency shoots. We focus on aligning freight movement with people movement, including customs and carnet documentation, to reduce delays and disruption.

Yes. Group travel and hotel blocks are a core part of our service. We manage rooming lists, team requirements, and changes as schedules shift. Our group travel work spans sporting teams of 10 to 60 passengers, music touring parties of 5 to 20 plus freight, large production crews, and creative teams travelling for campaigns and events. Every group and VIP booking is subject to our documented quality assurance process, with each booking checked by a second Travel Manager and Team Leader, plus a final 24-hour pre-departure supplier check.

Yes. Our Power BI Reporting Suite delivers 365-day visibility across your entire travel program with more than 200 report types and real-time dashboards available on demand. Reporting covers travel spend analysis, supplier performance, policy compliance, sustainability metrics aligned to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, and traveller wellness data. Reports can be aligned to projects, events, departments, cost centres, or job codes. Quarterly insights sessions with your Account Manager turn metrics into strategy.

Getting started begins with a conversation. We assess your current travel program, your industry, and your operational pressures, then design a travel solution tailored to your needs. For organisations using StageGo, our cost-free online booking tool, onboarding takes as little as the next business day. For organisations using SAVI, our customisable platform, full implementation takes around two weeks. To start the conversation, visit stageandscreen.travel or contact our team directly.
