  11  Travelling expenses to more than one location within the same city or town

If an eligible person travels to more than one location in the same city or town for the purpose of obtaining treatment, the amount of travelling expenses that the person is entitled to be paid is the greatest amount payable under section 22 of the Act:

             (a)            subject to section 7 of this instrument:

                (i)       for travel from his or her residence, whether or not in that city or town, to the location where treatment was first obtained; and

                (ii) for travel from the location where treatment was last obtained to his or her residence; and

             (b)           for travel between each location where treatment was obtained.

Example: A person travels 90 km from their residence in a country town to a medical practice in a capital city for treatment. They then travel 10 km in that capital city to another medical practice for a medical examination. The person then returns home later that day travelling another 100km. They claim travelling expenses for 200km in total (90+10+100km).

Upon receipt of the person's claim for travelling expenses, the Commission determines that the distance between their residence and the closest practical treatment location (see section 7 of this instrument) is 60km. The Commission will seek additional information from the person about why they travelled to a treatment location that was not the closest practical treatment location.
