4.13 Attendance allowance

Attendance allowance helps Reserve members to travel to Reserve duty.

The allowance is paid for travel to the first attendance each day. If you are required to attend for longer than a day, it is only paid for the first day unless you go home each night because there is no living-in accommodation.

You do not get the allowance if Defence provides travel.

The rate of allowance increases the further you have to travel. If you need to travel more than 120 kilometres each way, your unit may need to provide other travel arrangements.

Application to members on continuous full-time service:  No.
