 (1) If the Review Council is satisfied that:
 (a) it is reasonable to expect that a person may become entitled to travelling expenses under section 196ZO; and
 (b) it is appropriate, in all the circumstances, that the person should be paid an advance on account of those expenses;
the Review Council may authorise the payment of that advance to the person.
 (2) If:
 (a) a person has received an advance on account of any travelling expenses that the person is likely to incur; and
 (b) the person:
 (i) does not incur those travelling expenses; or
 (ii) incurs travelling expenses that are less than the amount of the advance;
the person is liable to repay to the Commonwealth:
 (c) the amount of the advance; or
 (d) the difference between the amount of the advance and the amount of the travelling expenses;
as the case requires.
