22 Reunion travel assistance

(1) An office holder in column 1 of Table 5B may receive travel costs of up to the amount (per year) in column 3 for travel back to the locality of the office holder’s principal place of residence (the PPR locality) for the purpose of family reunion, while the office holder occupies the office in column 2. (2) If the office holder certifies that the workload and responsibilities of the office prevent the office holder from travelling to the PPR locality for reunion purposes, the costs of reunion travel by the office holder’s partner, or a child or children of the office holder or of the office holder’s partner, who resides at the office holder’s principal place of residence, can be funded. Funding paid in accordance with this subsection counts towards the limit in subsection (1). (3) Travel by a person other than the office holder funded in accordance with subsection (2) must be at economy class, and only for direct travel between the PPR locality and the office locality. (4) Amounts of reunion travel assistance are set out in the following table (Table 5B).
