What kinds of Australian businesses and services are listed on ANSETT?

Updated

ANSETT (ansett.com.au) is a national directory of Australian services, travel, tourism and entertainment. Its listings span weddings, travel and tourism, photography, professional services, trades, health practitioners and local media, and include both consumer-facing businesses and business-to-business providers. If you are looking for an Australian supplier in one of those categories — or wondering whether your own business fits — the examples below show the range.

Categories covered

The directory's own description names services, travel, tourism and entertainment, with wedding suppliers, photographers, health practitioners and trades called out specifically. In practice, the featured entries fall into these groups:

Category Example listing What it offers

What the mix tells you

Two things stand out about the coverage:

  • Geography is national, not just metropolitan. Listings reach from Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and the Gold Coast to Tasmania (Hobart, the Huon Valley) and regional NSW (Hunter, Illawarra, inland NSW).
  • Both B2C and B2B are present. A couple booking a celebrant and a company hiring an engineering systems provider or a video production house sit side by side.

There is also a small literary/entertainment element — for example, Volcanic Winter by Mark Rutherford — which fits the directory's stated entertainment scope.

How to decide whether it is useful for you

  • If you are searching for a supplier: check whether your need falls into weddings, travel, tourism, photography, trades, health or general services, and whether you want a specific region. The listings are individual businesses rather than aggregated comparison pages, so you will usually follow a link to the business's own site.
  • If you want your business listed: ANSETT states that submitting is free and every feature is reviewed before it appears. You share your business, story or event and explain what you do and why it matters to readers. The submission route is via the "Submit to be featured by ANSETT" entry.

Because each entry is reviewed and links out to the business's own website, ANSETT works best as a discovery starting point rather than a booking or payment platform — no pricing or transaction details are shown in the directory itself.
