One pass. Real rewards. Real reach.

Discover more of Melbourne. Get rewarded along the way.

A new way to experience Melbourne as locals know it — favourite neighbourhood spots, hidden gems and the places that give every precinct its character. Discover them, and earn rewards as you go.

What it is

A visitor participation network, not another app

Discover Melbourne brings locals, visitors, businesses and precincts together in one connected experience. It helps people uncover more places worth visiting, rewards them for exploring and participating, and gives local operators and destination partners the tools, reach and insights to grow.

For visitors

Discover, participate, earn

Join free and seamlessly from within your browser — no app to download. Explore participating places, take part in simple activities, and unlock rewards and offers as you go.

For businesses

Your own rewards program, plus reach

Ready-made, light-touch technology that fits easily into your business — helping drive visits, referrals, reviews and repeat custom. You choose the rewards, generate authentic digital content and join a growing network designed to connect you with the visitor economy and ultimately increase sales.

For destinations, precincts & partners

Connect the destination. Grow the visitor economy.

Give tourism destinations, councils, precincts and markets a shared platform that connects local operators and encourages visitors to explore more, stay longer and spend across the destination. Run collaborative campaigns, support cross-visitation, capture valuable visitor insights and demonstrate measurable impact across the local visitor economy.

Early pilot results

An early, honest result — not a promise

The Yarra Valley Pass, powered by Loop Fans, is the closest working example of this model. It's a seven-week regional pilot — an early result worth sharing, not a guarantee of results for Discover Melbourne.
