ANSETT accepts submissions from businesses, storytellers, and event organisers who want to be listed on its national directory of Australian services, travel, tourism, and entertainment. According to the site, submitting is free, and every feature is reviewed before it appears. To be considered, you need to explain what you do, what is happening, and why it matters to ANSETT's readers.

What ANSETT is looking for

ANSETT describes itself as a national directory covering Australian services, travel, tourism, and entertainment. Its existing listings show the range of what gets featured:

The common thread is that each listing is tied to a specific Australian place or audience and states plainly what the business does. If your submission reads like a generic advertisement rather than a concrete answer to "what do you do and who is it for," it is less likely to fit the format.

How to submit

1. Go to the ANSETT site at ansett.com.au and find the "Submit to be featured by ANSETT" entry point.
2. Prepare your description. The site asks you to tell readers what you do, what is happening, and why it matters to them. Write for a reader deciding whether to contact you, not for a search engine.
3. Include the essentials — your business or event name, what you offer, and where you operate. Listings on the site pair a short description with a link to the business's own site.
4. Submit and wait for review. Every feature is reviewed before it appears, so expect a check rather than instant publication.

What to keep in mind

• Free does not mean automatic. The site states that submitting is free, but review is part of the process. A submission can be declined or held.
• Businesses, stories, and events all qualify. The submission prompt explicitly covers all three, so you are not limited to a commercial listing.
• The "why it matters" line is doing real work. ANSETT's own examples are written as short, specific pitches — a reader should understand your relevance in one or two sentences.
• You will need a destination link. Existing entries point to the business's own website, so have that URL ready.

If your goal is simply to browse what is already listed, the directory is organised by category and region, and no submission is required.

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:

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.

ANSETT is a national directory of Australian services, travel, tourism and entertainment. It lists businesses and providers — wedding suppliers, photographers, health practitioners and trades among them — and each entry links out to the business's own website. It is a discovery and referral site, not a booking platform: you browse or search listings, then deal directly with the provider. It is also open to submissions, and submitting a business, story or event is free, with every feature reviewed before it appears.

What you'll find listed

The directory is organised around a small set of broad categories, with individual entries underneath. From the listings currently shown on the site:

The spread is wide, but the pattern is consistent: small Australian operators, mostly in the wedding, travel, tourism, photography, trades and creative-services space.

How the site works for visitors

1. Browse or search by category. Listings sit under headings such as Weddings, Travel, Tourism, Photography, Services and Entertainment.
2. Read the short entry. Each listing carries a one- or two-line description of what the provider does.
3. Follow the link out. Every entry points to the provider's own domain — for example themarriageoffice.com, daves.com.au, hutchtv.com.au. ANSETT itself does not appear to handle enquiries, quotes or payments.

That last point matters if you are expecting a comparison engine with prices, reviews or availability. Nothing on the site indicates pricing, ratings or booking functionality; the value is in the curated shortlist and the direct link.

Submitting a listing

The site invites businesses, stories and events to be featured. According to its own submission text:

• Submitting is free.
• Every feature is reviewed before it appears.
• You are asked to explain what you do, what is happening, and why it matters to readers.

The submission route shown on the page points to mafia.net.au. If you are a small Australian operator in one of the covered categories, this is a low-cost way to get a descriptive link and a short write-up in front of people already browsing that category.

When ANSETT is useful — and when it isn't

Useful if you want a hand-picked starting point for Australian wedding vendors, travel and tourism operators, photographers or local trades, and you are happy to contact providers directly.

Less useful if you need to compare prices, check availability, read verified customer reviews or book online in one place. The directory does not present itself as doing any of those things.

For businesses, it is worth considering as one more place to be found — particularly if your customers are searching by category and region rather than by brand name. The review step means acceptance is not automatic, so treat it as an editorial listing rather than a guaranteed placement.

ANSETT is a national directory of Australian services, travel, tourism and entertainment, including wedding suppliers, photographers, health practitioners and trades. You find a business by browsing its category listings — Services, Weddings, Travel, Tourism, Photography and Local news — and then following the outbound link on each entry to the business's own website. It works best as a starting point for discovering a vendor, not as a booking or payment platform: every listing shown in the directory's page evidence is a short description plus a link to the operator's own site.

How the directory is organised

Entries are grouped under a category label, and each entry follows the same pattern: a business name, a one- or two-sentence description, and a domain. For example:

Because the category label sits with the entry, the fastest route is to scan for the category that matches what you need, then read the description to see whether the business's location and speciality fit.

Finding a business by location

ANSETT does not appear to offer a separate region filter in the material available. Location is instead carried inside the entry itself — either in the business name, the description, or the linked domain. Examples from the directory:

• Tasmania — Directory for Tasmanian Weddings (tasmanian.directory), Josh Withers Wedding Celebrant (Tasmanian ceremonies), HutchTV (Hobart), Mountain River Flower Patch (Huon Valley), Boat Reflections (Huon Valley)
• Melbourne — Melbourne Marriage Office, Mike Stevens Photography
• Queensland — Joshua Mikhaiel, Gold Coast wedding photographer
• Sydney and NSW — The Radio, which files news by the region a reader actually lives in, from Bondi, the Inner West and the North Shore to the Hunter, Illawarra and inland NSW
• National / online — The Internet, by Josh Withers, which serves small Australian service businesses regardless of city

So to search by place, look for the place name in the entry text rather than expecting a map or postcode search.

Following an entry through to the business

Each listing ends in an outbound link to the operator's own website. That is where you check current pricing, availability and service details — ANSETT's own pages describe what a business does, not what it charges. The directory's page evidence contains no pricing keywords, pricing links or payment platforms, so treat any cost question as something to confirm with the business directly.

A practical sequence:

1. Identify the category that matches your need (for example, Weddings for a celebrant, Services for a web studio).
2. Scan the descriptions in that category for your city, state or region.
3. Open the linked domain to read the business's own terms, prices and contact details.
4. If nothing in the category fits, note that the directory is a curated selection rather than an exhaustive register — absence from it does not mean a business does not exist.

Getting your own business listed

ANSETT accepts submissions. The "Submit to be featured by ANSETT" entry states that submitting is free and that every feature is reviewed before it appears. You are asked to tell readers what you do, what is happening, and why it matters to them. The submission route given is mafia.net.au.

Two things worth knowing before you submit:

• Review is manual. Free submission does not mean automatic publication; each feature is checked first.
• Write for the reader, not the directory. The instruction is to explain what you do and why it matters to the audience, which is also what makes an entry useful to someone browsing by category.

When ANSETT is the right tool — and when it isn't

Use it when you want a shortlist of Australian wedding, travel, tourism, photography or trade providers, and you are happy to click through to each business's own site to compare. The descriptions are written to be read quickly, and several entries are explicitly aimed at being found by search and answer engines as readily as by a person.

Look elsewhere when you need to filter by price, compare quotes side by side, book and pay in one place, or search exhaustively by postcode. The directory provides discovery and a link out; the transaction happens on the business's own website.
