Kelsian has completed the sale of its tourism assets for AUD 150 million, or around AUD 135 million after tax and transaction costs. The divestment to Journey Beyond was first agreed in February 2026 but now excludes SeaLink Rottnest, which has been retained to placate the competition regulator.
Government public transport contracts underpin defensive revenue with significant concessions for inflation generally, including for the key inputs of labor and fuel costs.
Competition for government bus contracts is fierce and service offerings largely undifferentiated. Competitors could increase their focus on Kelsian’s key markets.
