Travel advance policy
Staff travelling on University business may apply for an advance to cover accommodation, meals and incidental expenses during a trip.
The Australian Taxation Office provides reasonable amounts for daily travel allowable expenses, based on salary levels and destinations. These amounts are to be used as a guide. The advance amount is at the approvers' discretion.
Staff members must acquit any advances with the appropriate receipts and return any unspent money within 14 days of return. A staff member who has not fully acquitted an advance will not be eligible to receive any further advances until the outstanding advance is acquitted.
