Traveling can be an exciting and educational experience for children, but it requires careful planning and preparation, especially when children are traveling alone. Greyhound Australia acknowledges this need and has established a comprehensive process to ensure the safety and well-being of unaccompanied minors between the ages of 12 and 14. This process is encapsulated in their Unaccompanied Minor Form, a crucial document for guardians to complete and submit prior to the child's journey. This form contains essential details such as the child's name, age, medical conditions if any, and complete travel details including departure and arrival points. It also specifies the contact details of the parent or guardian and the person responsible for the child at both departure and pick-up points. To ensure a seamless process, the form mandates the presence of the parent/guardian or a responsible adult at the time of departure to assist the child during boarding. Furthermore, certain conditions are laid out to promote the minor's safety, such as prohibition against children under 11 traveling unaccompanied and restrictions on travel with connecting services. Booking options are diversified, including via call centers, travel centers, or directly with drivers, aligning with the policy to accommodate and streamline travel arrangements for unaccompanied minors. This form not only facilitates safe travel but also serves as an agreement between the guardian and Greyhound, ensuring compliance with all specified conditions to safeguard the child throughout their journey.

Obtain Answers on Greyhound Unaccompanied Minor
What is the age limit for children to travel unaccompanied on Greyhound Australia?
Children between the ages of 12 and 14 years inclusive are allowed to travel unaccompanied, given that they hand in a completed Unaccompanied Child Form to the service driver. Children under 11 years need to be accompanied by a chaperone, who is older than 15 and known to the minor’s parent or guardian.
How do I book a ticket for an unaccompanied minor?
Bookings can be made through various sales channels including the Greyhound Call Centre (by dialing 1300 GREYHOUND or 1300 4739 46863), at terminals, via the Internet, through travel agents, or directly by paying the driver.
What does the Unaccompanied Child Form entail?
The form requires detailed information including the child’s name, age, medical conditions (if any), travel details, parent/guardian’s contact details, and the contacts of the person responsible at both the departure and pick-up points. This form ensures the child’s safety during the journey and must be handed to a Greyhound employee before departure.
Can an unaccompanied minor travel on connecting services?
No, unaccompanied children between 12 and 14 years are not permitted to travel on connecting services (where a coach change is required), unless the parent or guardian nominated on the Unaccompanied Child form is present at the service change.
What responsibilities do parents or guardians have when their child travels unaccompanied?
The parent, guardian, or responsible adult must be present at the departure point to help the child board the coach and to hand the completed Unaccompanied Child Form to the driver. They also need to ensure the child has sufficient food or funds for meals en route and must meet the child at the pick-up point 20 minutes before the scheduled arrival time.
What kind of identification is required?
Satisfactory proof of identity, such as a driver’s licence, passport, or over 18 card, must be produced by the person responsible for the child both at the departure and destination points.
What happens if the child becomes ill during their journey?
If the child becomes ill en-route, Greyhound reserves the right to take any necessary action to ensure the child's comfort and safety. All associated costs will be borne by the parent or guardian.
What happens if the designated person is not at the pick-up point when the coach arrives?
If the designated individual is not present and contact cannot be made with either the parent/guardian or responsible persons at the pick-up point, the child will be taken to the nearest police station.
Who is responsible for the child’s belongings?

Is there a discount for a chaperone travelling with a child under 11?
Yes, a chaperone accompanying a child (or children) under 11 years old will receive a 50% discount off the full adult fare, on the condition that the chaperone returns to their original destination on the next available service.
Common mistakes
Filling out a Greyhound Unaccompanied Minor form requires careful attention to detail to ensure the safety and well-being of the child traveling alone. Common mistakes can lead to unnecessary complications or even prevent the child from boarding the coach. Here are seven common mistakes to avoid:
-
Not providing complete contact information: It's crucial to list accurate and comprehensive contact details for the parent or guardian, including both phone and mobile numbers. These are essential for communication in case of any changes or emergencies.
-
Overlooking the need for a separate form for return travel: Each journey, whether outbound or return, requires its own completed form. Failing to complete a separate form for the return trip could result in the child not being allowed to board for the return journey.
-
Forgetting to sign the form: The form must be signed by the parent or guardian to be valid. An unsigned form is like having no form at all, leading to potential travel delays or refusal of service.
-
Not indicating a medical condition or dietary needs: If the child has any medical conditions or special dietary requirements, these should be clearly indicated on the form to ensure they are well cared for during the journey.
-
Failure to comply with age-related travel policies: Greyhound has specific policies for unaccompanied minors based on age groups. Not adhering to these, such as attempting to let children under 12 travel unaccompanied or those between 12 and 14 travel without an adult to hand off to the driver, can prevent the child from traveling.
-
Not including details for the person meeting the child: Just as it's important to provide parent or guardian details, information for the person responsible for the child at the destination is equally essential. This includes their name, relationship to the child, address, and contact numbers.
-
Misunderstanding the conditions of carriage: Not being aware of Greyhound’s policies for unaccompanied minors, such as the need for the child to have sufficient food and funds or the requirement for the child to be met promptly upon arrival, can result in discomfort for the child or complications at the destination.
By avoiding these common mistakes, parents and guardians can help ensure a smooth and safe journey for unaccompanied minors on Greyhound coaches.
Documents used along the form
When preparing for a child to travel unaccompanied, especially via services like Greyhound, it's essential to gather all the necessary forms and documents to ensure a smooth and secure journey. Besides the Greyhound Unaccompanied Minor Form, there are several other documents that play a critical role in this process. Each document serves its own purpose, from providing essential information to ensuring the safety and comfort of the child throughout their travel.
- Passenger Ticket: This is the official document that serves as proof of the booking and payment for the journey. It details the service number, departure and arrival points, times, and dates of travel.
- Medical Consent Form: A form providing details on any medical conditions the child has and authorizing any necessary medical treatment in case of an emergency. It often includes information on allergies, medications, and contact details for the child’s healthcare provider.
- Photo Identification: Depending on the age and regulations, a form of photo ID for the child may be required to confirm their identity. This could be a school ID, passport, or any other government-issued identification suitable for minors.
- Emergency Contact Form: This document lists all necessary contacts for emergencies, including names, relations to the child, and multiple ways to reach them (phone numbers, email addresses).
- Child Travel Consent Form: A notarized document from the guardian or parent granting permission for the child to travel alone, often detailing the mode of transport, destination, and duration of the trip.
- Special Services Request Form: If the child requires any special assistance during the trip, such as help with mobility, dietary restrictions, or medication administration, this form communicates those needs to the carrier.
- Baggage Claim Ticket: For any checked items, the baggage claim ticket is vital for the child to retrieve their belongings upon arrival at their destination.
Gathering these documents may seem like a daunting task, but they are key to ensuring everything goes smoothly. They serve not only as a means of identification and verification but also give peace of mind to both the guardian or parent and the carrier that necessary precautions are in place for the child's safety and well-being during their journey.

Misconceptions
There are several misconceptions regarding the Greyhound Unaccompanied Minor form that need clarification. Understanding these can ensure a smooth travel experience for both the child and their guardians.
- Every child under 18 needs an Unaccompanied Child Form. This is incorrect; the form is specifically for children aged between 12 and 14 years. Children 11 and under cannot travel unaccompanied, and those 15 and older do not need an Unaccompanied Child Form.
- Children can travel on multiple sectors with one form. Actually, the Unaccompanied Child Form is only valid for a single sector of travel. If the trip involves a return journey, a separate form is needed for each direction.
- The form can be filled out and handed over to the driver at the last minute. The form must be completed and signed prior to the child boarding the coach, emphasizing the need for preparation and ensuring all details are accurately provided in advance.
- It's okay if the parent or guardian isn't at the departure point. The rules stipulate that the parent, guardian, or a responsible adult must be present to hand the form to the Greyhound employee and assist the child onto the coach, emphasizing safety and accountability.
- Unaccompanied minors can travel on connecting services alone. Children between 12 and 14 years old are not permitted to travel on connecting services unless a parent or guardian is present to assist them during the service change.
- Booking an unaccompanied minor's ticket can only be done over the phone. In reality, tickets can be obtained through various channels including the Greyhound Call Centre, internet, travel agents, and even directly from the coach driver, offering flexibility and convenience.
- If a child becomes ill, they are left to fend for themselves. Greyhound reserves the right to take necessary actions to ensure the child’s comfort and safety, demonstrating their commitment to the welfare of unaccompanied minors.
- The parent doesn't need to meet the child at the pick-up point. The responsible adult needs to be at the pick-up point before the coach's arrival time, prepared to show identification as proof of their relationship to the child, ensuring a safe and secure handover.
- Greyhound accepts all responsibility for the child during the journey. While Greyhound promises to exercise all possible care, the contract clearly states the company's limitations, highlighting the shared responsibility for a minor's safe travel.
Clearing up these misconceptions can lead to a better and safer travel experience for unaccompanied minors on Greyhound coaches, making the process smoother and less stressful for everyone involved.

- The form requires the contact details of the parent/guardian and the persons responsible for the child at both the departure and arrival points, including phone numbers that must be recorded. This ensures clear communication channels are established.
