Review of Meal, Travelling and other Allowances
Various expense and work related allowances in the Crown Employees
(Public Service Conditions of Employment) Reviewed Award 2009 are
adjusted annually. The attached table outlines the Rates and Allowances
effective 1 July 2015.
Summary:
Meal, Travelling and Related Allowances contained in Table 1 Allowances of Part B - Monetary Rates
of the Crown Employees (Public Service Conditions of Employment) Reviewed Award 2009 have
been increased effective from 1 July 2015.
Meal and travelling allowances listed in Items 1, 2, 3 and 19 (excluding supper allowance) have been
adjusted from 1 July 2015 in line with the Australian Taxation Office Determination No. TD 2015/14,
which sets out the reasonable allowance amounts for the 2015-16 financial year.
Allowances listed in Items 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, 15, 16 and 19 (supper allowance) of Table 1 have been
adjusted from 1 July 2015 in accordance with the changes in the Sydney Consumer Price Index (CPI)
for the preceding year to March 2015.
Work related allowances listed in items 13, 14, 17 and 18 are increased by 2.5 per cent on and from
the first full pay period commencing on or after 1 July 2015, being the same increase as applied to
salaries under the Crown Employees (Public Sector Salaries - 2008) Award.
Private motor vehicle allowances listed in item 6 have been set at a flat rate of 66 cents for all engine
types in line with changes identified in the 2015-16 Federal Budget.
The Crown Employees (Public Service Conditions of Employment) Reviewed Award 2009 will be
varied in due course to reflect the reviewed allowances in this Circular.
