Plain English Summary

What these rules do

These regulations set travel allowances for stand-in members (called 'deputies') of the Commonwealth Legal Aid Commission. If a deputy must stay overnight away from home to attend a Commission meeting, they receive an allowance of $72 for each night they are necessarily absent from their normal residence.

Who is affected

Deputy Commissioners: People appointed to temporarily act in place of regular Commissioners
The Commonwealth: Which pays the allowance

Why it matters

This ensures deputies aren't personally out-of-pocket for accommodation costs when travelling for official Commission business, removing a financial barrier to serving on the body that oversees legal aid services.
