293  Amount of compensation for journeys
 (1) The amount of compensation that the Commonwealth is liable to pay under section 290 (compensation for journeys) is the amount determined by the Commission to be the amount reasonably incurred in respect of the journey.
 (2) In determining an amount under subsection (1), the Commission may determine the amount of compensation using the following formula:

Note: For example, the Commission might use the formula if a person used a private vehicle to make a journey, but not if a person flew on a commercial airline.
 (3) In this section:
length of the journey in kilometres means:
 (a) if only subparagraph 290(1)(b)(iv) or (2)(c)(iv) applies—the number of whole kilometres the Commission determines to be the reasonable length of the journey that it was necessary to make; and
 (b) otherwise—the length of the journey in kilometres.
specified rate per kilometre means the rate per kilometre specified in an instrument under subsection 16(6) of the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 (as that instrument is in force from time to time).
