Detailed Outline
The purpose of this Circular is to advise Schedule 1 departments that the Public Employment Office has varied the meal, travelling and related allowances contained in Table 1 - Allowances of Part B-Monetary Rates to the Crown Employees (Public Service Conditions of Employment) Award 2002, effective from 1 July 2005.
Allowances listed in Items 1, 2, 3 and 19 of Table 1 have been determined at a level consistent with the reasonable allowances amounts for the 2004-2005 income year as published by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) in Taxation Determination 2005/32.
Allowances listed in Items 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 15 and 16 of Table 1 have been adjusted by 2.2% in line with increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) since the last review in July 2004.
Work related allowances in Items 13, 14, 17 and 18 have been adjusted by 4% to reflect the salary increases in the Crown Employees (Public Sector - Salaries 2004) Award. (Please note that compared to the allowances published in Premier's Circular 2004-18 this will represent an 8% increase due to the settlement of the PSA's wage claim in December 2004 and the backdating to 1 July 2004).
Steps will be taken shortly to formally vary the Crown Employees (Public Service Conditions of Employment) Award 2002.
Any enquiries from departments concerning this Circular should be directed to their client contact officer in the Public Employment Office.
