Getaway is Australia's longest-running travel and lifestyle television program. Debuting on 14 May 1992 in a Thursday 7:30 pm time slot, it is broadcast on the Nine Network[1] and TLC. Its main competitor was The Great Outdoors on the Seven Network until 2009.

The first season looked at only tourism locally, including resorts and locations, but on 18 March 1993, it had expanded to look at international travel and tourism destinations.[2]

In 2011, the program was reduced to a 30-minute format and moved to Saturday afternoons at 5:30 pm.[3][4]
