Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This Notice sets the rate per kilometre that the Commonwealth workers' compensation scheme (Comcare) pays to injured workers for travel expenses.

If you are an injured Commonwealth government employee who needs to travel to get medical treatment or rehabilitation, this determines how much you can claim back for using your own vehicle.

Key points:

From 1 July 2008, the rate is $0.60 per kilometre
This replaces the previous rate of $0.47 per kilometre
The Schedule also shows historical rates for past claims (going back to 1992)

The Notice is made under the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 (the Commonwealth workers' compensation law) and revokes the earlier 2005 Notice that set the previous rate.
