Travel diary

A travel diary is a record maintained by an employee that provides details of their travel movements, including the dates, places, times and duration of activities when travelling for work. 

For domestic travel, all staff must complete a travel diary for a continuous travel period of more than 5 nights and the travel is not exclusively for performing employment-related duties, within 14 days of returning from their travel.

For any international travel, all staff must complete a travel diary for a continuous travel period of more than 5 nights within 14 days of returning from their travel.

Further information regarding travel diaries, including examples, can be found on the ATO website here.
