Exemplar Coaches and Limousines is proud to be the leading airport transfer company in the Cairns-Port Douglas region. We are a family run business operating since 1993, with the majority of Inbound Tour Operators and agents preferring to use our services above others.

Our drivers can plan their lives around work with set weekly rosters and daily manifests received by 5pm the day before work. If you are a driver already, and want some certainty regarding your daily life and work, think about calling Exemplar.

Our head office and depot is located in Craiglie, but we also have a team located in Cairns. These positions are part time permanent with extended hours up to fulltime equivalent if required. All superannuation and entitlements apply as per the National Employment Standards.

Exemplar has a sound reputation as a fair and equitable employer in our region.

You must also demonstrate a safe driving record and hold a current Driver's License (LR min.) and Qld. Driver's Authorisation (DA).
