Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: These Regulations set the travel allowance rates for appointed members of the Information Advisory Committee under the Australian Information Commissioner Act 2010.

Who it affects: Members of the Information Advisory Committee (a body that advises the Australian Information Commissioner on privacy and freedom of information matters).

Why it matters: When committee members travel within Australia for official business, this law ensures they receive travel allowances calculated according to official public service rates. Specifically, they receive either:

The amount payable under clause 3.3 of the Remuneration Tribunal Determination 2004/03; or
The amount payable under clause 3.4 of that same determination at the tier 2 rate.

In short, it implements the parent Act's provision allowing committee members to be reimbursed for travel costs.
