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.
