Qantas Universities Airfares Agreement
The University is part of the Qantas Universities Airfares Agreement (QUAA) which provides discounts. These discounts are only available when:
- Bookings are performed via one of the University's preferred Travel Service Providers, and
- Using Qantas as the preferred airline.
Conversely, they are not available when:
- Other preferred Travel Service Providers are used, or
- Payment is made by credit card, or
- Direct booking with any airline (either by phone or over the web - this includes "Red-E" and other special one-off deals).
Airlines other than Qantas may be used as per the University's Travel Guidelines.
University Corporate Credit Cards are not to be used for services that can be provided by one of UniSA's preferred Travel Service Providers.

Qantas Club
Staff who are expected to travel frequently on University business may be provided with Qantas Club Membership where an authorised supervisor deems it to be value for money expenditure. Memberships are purchased for one or two years at a time. Lifetime membership is not permitted.
The memberships for staff who have been identified as qualifying for the University to fund the membership are required to forward the Qantas application form and an e-mail approving the expenditure from the cost centre manager with VC authorisation to StrategicProcurement@unisa.edu.au, to place under a centralised Qantas Corporate Scheme.
If you are already a Qantas Club Member and wish to transfer to the University Funded Scheme, Qantas requires a completed application form to be submitted to Strategic Procurement, with an e-mail approving the expenditure from the cost centre manager with VC authorisation to organise the transfer to the University scheme.
Arrangements have also been made for staff who may wish to self fund their airline club membership at discounted rates. These costs may be salary sacrificed after payment has been completed. Contact the Salary Sacrificing Officer in the Human Resource Unit. Click here for the Salary Sacrifice Guidelines and Conditions.
Airline membership will not be provided for partners.
