RLP Remoteness Categories
1.59.15 A grant under the RLP for a multi campus provider is calculated per campus and depends upon the remoteness classification of each of the provider’s eligible campuses.
1.59.20 The remoteness classification for a campus is determined using the Remoteness Structure to classify the remoteness of the physical location of the eligible campus.
1.59.25 The loading (L) for the remoteness categories is as follows:
| Remoteness category | Loading (L) |
|---|---|
| Remote and very remote | 20% |
| Darwin region | 15% |
| Outer regional | 10% |
| Inner regional | 5% |
| Major city and overseas | 0% |
1.59.30 For purposes of this Division, the Darwin region is defined as the area of the Northern Territory that is not remote or very remote.
1.59.35 For purposes of this Division, the Darwin region has been classified outside of the ABS Remoteness Structure as the additional costs of higher education provision in this region exceed its remoteness category which is outer regional.
