VISITOR INFORMATION CENTRES

Bundaberg Tourism operates two accredited Visitor Information Centres (or VICs) in the Bundaberg region - in Bundaberg and Childers.  

VICs play an important role in tourism, offering direct contact in person, on the phone or online with informed locals who make recommendations about their tips and must-do experiences to help our guests make the most of their time in the area. 

All of our members are represented in our VICs (with the exception of Tourism Supporters).  Your membership entitles you to have one or more brochures on display, and to participate in a variety of free or low-cost marketing and advertising opportunities.

The Bundaberg and Childers VICs are manned by a team of knowledgeable and passionate staff and volunteers with a team philosophy of "Happy to Help".  The VICs also sell a range of souvenirs, including local produce and crafts.

Our Visitor Services team is led by Louisa Hyland, the VIC Coordinator, and Zoe Wilson, the Childers VIC Supervisor.
