What this does

This regulation sets the expense allowances for members of the Human Rights Commission (the body that investigates discrimination and human rights complaints).

The bottom line

Commission members receive the same allowances as Australian Public Service (APS) officers. This means when members travel for work or incur other official expenses, they claim reimbursement at standard public service rates rather than having special rates created just for the Commission.

Why it matters

The Human Rights Commission Act 1981 requires separate regulations to specify these payments. Rather than inventing a new allowance structure, this instrument simply points to the existing APS framework, keeping things consistent and easy to administer.
