Review of Meal, Travelling and Related Allowances

Detailed Outline

C2006-27 Review of Meal, Travelling and Related Allowances

The purpose of this Circular is to advise Schedule 1 Part 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) Reviewed Award 2006, effective from 1 July 2006.

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 2005-2006 income year as published by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) in Taxation Determination 2006/43.

Allowances listed in Items 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 15 and 16 of Table 1 have been adjusted by 2.7% in line with increases in the Sydney Consumer Price Index (CPI) since the last review in July 2005.

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.

Steps will be taken shortly to formally vary the Crown Employees (Public Service Conditions of Employment) Reviewed Award 2006.

Any enquiries from departments concerning this Circular should be directed to their client contact officer in the Public Employment Office.
