What this does: This Notice sets the amount that injured or ill seafarers can claim back for travel costs (like driving to medical appointments or rehabilitation) under the Seafarers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1992.

Key change: From 1 July 2008, the reimbursement rate increased to $0.60 per kilometre (up from the previous rate of $0.47).

Who it affects: Seafarers who need to travel for medical treatment, rehabilitation programs, or return-to-work services related to workplace injuries or diseases.
