- Use of vehicle: An office holder may choose to hire a vehicle or use his or her own vehicle to travel on official business where it is demonstrably in the interest of the Commonwealth to do so. In such circumstances the Commonwealth will:

(b) pay a motor vehicle allowance at the rate of 66 cents per kilometre where a private vehicle is used for the journey. Any private vehicle used for this purpose must be comprehensively insured.
- Agency vehicle: These provisions do not apply to any journey commenced from the home base of an office holder where he or she is provided with an agency vehicle at that home base.
