PART 6 – REIMBURSEMENT OF REASONABLE RELOCATION EXPENSES

1.	Application

At the discretion of the Chief Executive, this Part may apply to an officer or employee who, because of ACT Public Service work requirements, is required temporarily or permanently to:
•	relocate their residence to the ACT; or
•	relocate their residence outside the ACT.

This Part does not apply to relocation expenses for Chief Executives and Executives, and Specialists and Senior Specialists.  Entitlements in relation to relocation expenses for Chief Executives and Executives, and Specialists and Senior Specialists are derived from the Remuneration Tribunal Determination applicable to Chief Executives and Executives.

This Part does not apply to an officer who was granted approval, prior to the commencement of this Part, to be paid an allowance under the provisions that applied prior to the commencement of this Part.  Where approval was granted, prior to the commencement of this Part, for an allowance to be paid to an officer under the provisions that applied prior to the commencement of this Part, the officer will continue to be eligible to receive payment under those provisions.

This Part should be read in conjunction with relevant Certified Agreements, Awards and the Best Practice Notes.	

2.	Interpretation

In this Part, unless the contrary intention appears:

‘dependant’ means a member of the officer or employee’s immediate household ordinarily residing with them, irrespective of their financial dependency.

‘specialist’ is as defined from time to time in Standard 2, Part 10.

3.	Payments

A Chief Executive may approve reimbursement of actual, reasonable, receipted or otherwise substantiated costs necessarily incurred by an officer or employee in relocating his or her residence, up to the amounts set out in the following table.

Description	Ceiling	
No dependants	$10,000	
Additional payment per dependant, for 1 to 6 dependants	$1,700	
Additional payment per dependant thereafter	$1,500	

A Chief Executive may approve the reimbursement of relocation related costs in excess of the above amounts in exceptional circumstances.
