Tour guides offer urban or site tours and share their knowledge on certain topics, such as information about a location, cultural or historical issue.

Award coverage for tour guides depends on:

• the industry or industries their employer operates in
• the specific role and responsibilities of the employee.

Industry award coverage

An industry award covers a tour guide if:

• their employer operates in the industry defined in the award
• there's a classification which matches the employee's duties and qualifications.

For example, a tour guide may be covered by one of the following industry awards:

• Amusement Award
• Hospitality Award
• Live Performance Award
• Passenger Vehicle Award
• Racing Clubs Events Award
• Wine Award.

No industry award coverage

Tour guides not covered by an industry award are covered by the Miscellaneous Award. They’ll be classified based on their duties and qualifications.
