Business Travel – interstate or international

Eligible emerging practitioners, sole traders and companies can apply for funding for up to 50% of:

  • airfares (at reasonable economic rates)
  • accommodation
  • entry fees.

Per diems up to $60 per day for interstate travel and $100 per day for international travel can be included. Receipts proving travel and attendance will be required at the time of acquittal.

An overall cap of $6 000 for international and $2 000 for domestic travel per person per financial year is available for business travel. A company may apply for up to $10 000 for all types of business travel per financial year, but the caps of $6 000 international and $2 000 domestic still apply to each person travelling for that company.
