This means when members travel for work or incur other official expenses, they claim reimbursement at standard public service rates rather than having special rates created just for the Commission.\n\n**Why it matters**\n\nThe *Human Rights Commission Act 1981* requires separate regulations to specify these payments. Rather than inventing a new allowance structure, this instrument simply points to the existing APS framework, keeping things consistent and easy to administer."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/human-rights-commission-allowances-regulations","history":"/api/acts/human-rights-commission-allowances-regulations/history","analysis":"/api/acts/human-rights-commission-allowances-regulations/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/human-rights-commission-allowances-regulations/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/human-rights-commission-allowances-regulations/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/human-rights-commission-allowances-regulations/documents"}}
