Company Profile

After 10 years experience each in the Bus and Coach industry, Messrs. McKenzie & Baird purchased their first business in March 1980. At the time it was a small School Bus operation with a fleet of 8 vehicles. During the past 20 years this fleet has grown to in excess of 100 vehicles. This includes:-

15 Luxury Touring Coaches
75 School/Route/Charter Buses
7 Articulated Buses
6 Mini Coaches & Buses
Luggage & Camping Trailers
Chrysler Voyager 6 Seater
Our fleet is continually being upgraded and expanded. Vehicles are serviced regularly at 5,000 km intervals and all maintenance is undertaken by qualified personnel, thus ensuring the highest level of comfort and safety for our passengers. Detailed histories of servicing and repairs are maintained for each vehicle and all vehicles are inspected annually by VicRoads representatives to ensure compliance with government regulations. We operate a comprehensive Quality Assured Maintenance Program to further enhance this activity.

Our companies are fully accredited by the Victorian Government to operate every possible category of bus and coach service. This Accreditation requires tertiary training for key personnel and adherence to the strictest standards of management and maintenance systems.

The company presently employs over 120 people. These comprise 90 permanent & casual drivers, 15 administration staff and a maintenance team of 12 mechanics. The company also employs a range of support personnel, including cooks, tour guides and cleaners.
