About Quadrant Australia

Who are we?

Quadrant Australia is a specialist tour operator and fully licensed travel agent. We are members of the Australian Travel Compensation Fund, Australian Tourism Export Council (ATEC), Agricultural Tour Operators International (ATOI) and Australian Travel Agents’ Cooperative (ATAC).

What do we do?

Quadrant Australia provides a specialist service catering to a unique market. We research and deliver high quality study tours and educational programs, tailored to meet the needs of our Australian and international clients. We work in partnership with the agribusiness industry as well as nature-based and educational sectors worldwide.

We also offer a full range of travel services and, as a member of Australia’s largest travel buying group, we have access to a range of cost-effective travel products.

The strength of Quadrant Australia has been built from the heritage of the company, with ANF Agritours and Agtour Australia merging into the one company bringing together in excess of 50 years combined experience.

Quadrant Australia’s four business divisions:

• Agribusiness study tour programs and trade missions – world wide
• Agribusiness & industry educational study programs supporting conferences & events
• Special interest tours worldwide
• Business group and holiday travel

The name, Quadrant Australia, is derived from the word ‘quad’, linking our four areas of operation, and the word ‘quadrant’ meaning an instrument of navigation.

Our company’s mission is to guide and navigate our clients to their destination, or goals, in effective and beneficial ways. Captain James Cook carried a quadrant on his epic journey of discovery and navigation in 1769.

Quadrant Australia has offices in Armidale and Coffs Harbour, New South Wales and in Brisbane, Queensland. We have a team of specialist staff who will work closely with you and your clients to develop, plan and deliver informative and relevant, cost effective programs.

Company Philosophy — Quadrant Australia seeks to:

• Work in partnership with our clients to develop, plan and deliver beneficial, cost effective study tours, special interest travel and conference technical field trip programs.
• Endeavour to promote sustainable agricultural, environmental and other practices.
• Respect a nation’s identity and to seek to engage our clients and visitors with the diverse cultures we encounter.
• Work to enhance our environment and to share the culture, landscape and people of Australia with our clients.
