Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument updates the numeric travel‑reimbursement rate used under the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation (Defence‑related Claims) Act 1988. Section 6 fixes the specified rate at 68 cents per kilometre, the instrument revokes the 2019 notice (s4), commences 1 November 2020 (s2) and is made by the Minister under s16(6) of the Act (s3). Mechanically, it changes payment amounts for travel reimbursements: the agency that pays under the Act bears the cost change and administrators must apply the new numeric rate.
