TAWK (Travelling Australia With Kids) is a family travel membership that helps you save money and discover amazing places around Australia. Members get access to perks like kids stay free at participating parks, exclusive discounts, and curated travel inspiration.
$59 per family. TAWK is a one-time lifetime membership — no ongoing fees, no renewals.
Your membership includes:
- Kids Stay Free at 180+ caravan parks
- Discounts on stays, attractions, and products
- Access to our travel community
- Exclusive member-only offers and updates
Once you sign up, you’ll get access to your digital membership card, which you can use when booking or checking in at participating partners. With your membership, you can also access discount codes with our brand partners from the directories.
Yes 🙌
As soon as you’ve signed up, you can start using your membership (your receipt can also be used as proof if needed).
No — it’s a lifetime membership, so you’ll have access for as long as TAWK operates.
If you’re travelling Australia with kids — even for a short trip — most families save more than the cost of membership within their first stay.
Family of 5? Here’s how the numbers stack up.
Say you’ve got 2 adults and 3 kids under 16, staying 2 nights.
Without a TAWK membership, you’ll pay for the kids each night:
3 kids x $15.00 = $45.00 per night
$45.00 x 2 nights = $90.00
With TAWK, your kids stay FREE. That’s the deal with your $59 Lifetime Membership.
So you can pay $90.00 for the one stay, or pay $59.00 just once and save $30 on your very first visit.
And that’s just the start. There are plenty more stays to be had across your whole lifetime membership, saving TAWK families $1000s on their adventures around Australia.
A membership covers one family unit (two adults + dependent children aged 15 and under).

Yes — we’ll send helpful travel tips, updates, and exclusive offers. You can unsubscribe anytime.
No — memberships are not transferable and are intended for use by the purchasing family only.
TAWK is a family-run Australian business, built by travellers, for travelling families.
It’s owned by sisters Tara and Chelsey, both avid travellers with families of their own, so they know firsthand the logistics, planning and budgeting that goes into getting the show on the road. They’re passionate about helping the community make the most of their travels, hunting down the must-see attractions, best places to stay, and things to do all across the country.
Because TAWK is a lifetime digital product, we don’t offer refunds once a membership has been issued.
Not always — availability can change, and some offers may be paused or updated by partners.
Generally no — unless the partner specifically allows it.
TAWK Stays are family-friendly homes, apartments, and unique stays offering exclusive discounts to members (usually 10% off).

You can browse all participating parks directly on the TAWK website via our interactive map and directory.

Parks can partner with us to support travelling families and attract new bookings. If you’re a park owner, get in touch!
We work closely with our partners, but always recommend checking reviews and confirming details directly with the business.
No, not at the moment — you book directly with the park, then mention your TAWK membership.
Usually no — most parks require a minimum 2-night stay. Please check with the park for individual terms and conditions.
Yes, sometimes:
- School holidays & peak periods may be excluded
- Age definitions of “kids” vary by park
- Availability is subject to each park
At participating parks, kids can stay free when you book a minimum stay (usually 2 nights). Each park sets their own conditions, so always check the listing before booking.
