Travel allowance

A daily travel allowance will be provided to travellers to cover meals and incidental expenses. The allowance is calculated in line with the minimum salary category listed in the Australian Tax Office (ATO) Reasonable Travel Allowances determination. For equity, all University travellers will receive the same travel allowance rate, regardless of their position or salary. 

The incidental component of the travel allowance is provided to assist with covering out-of-pocket expenses such as wi-fi, foreign exchange fees, laundry and tipping (where appropriate).

The University will not cover expenses of a personal nature e.g. mini-bar, newspapers, haircuts, movies and other entertainment.
