Case Study: Shaping Australia Group

Building a stronger future, together

Shaping Australia Group (SAG) is a majority Indigenous-owned civil construction company delivering high-quality work across roadworks, earthmoving, concrete remediation, waste management, and more. But their real purpose runs deeper – to create jobs, training pathways, and future opportunities for Indigenous youth and local communities. Every dollar reinvested into the business fuels this mission, and every project becomes a step toward lasting social impact.

The Challenge: Keeping up with a Rapidly Growing Business

As SAG rapidly scaled operations across Queensland and beyond, managing the logistics of getting teams and resources to remote sites became increasingly complex. From regular deployments to places like Gladstone and Mackay, to urgent disaster-response work following cyclones or oil spills, travel needed to be quick, efficient, and seamless. Without a dedicated travel partner, internal processes were stretched, and errors were frequent.

The Solution: End-to-end Business Travel Support with FCBT

Partnering with Flight Centre Business Travel (FCBT) has been a game-changer. With a dedicated Account Manager and Travel Manager, FCBT now handles SAG’s end-to-end travel logistics – from crew rotations and emergency deployments to executive international travel. Weekly reporting provides oversight, while reactive, last-minute bookings are managed with ease. By simplifying travel, FCBT gives SAG the space to focus on what matters: building strong communities and changing lives.
