Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This determination raises the per-kilometre fares allowance paid to social security recipients who drive their own car for approved travel (e.g., job interviews, training, medical appointments), increasing several rates by about 0.7–1.0 cent to roughly 50–61¢/km.

It affects eligible beneficiaries who opt to drive instead of using public transport and helps ensure travel payments better reflect vehicle running costs so low-income recipients aren’t left out of pocket.
