old locality and immediately on moving to the new locality until suitable longer-term housing is available. Settling-in/settling-out allowances recognise reasonable costs for accommodation and meals (a set incidentals component is also paid).
7. Rented accommodation allowance
Rented accommodation allowance is paid while staff occupy temporary rented housing at the new locality (normally after a short settling-in period at a hotel or motel). Reasonable rent (but usually not meal and incidental expenses) is recognised.
8. Officer contributions
Staff receiving TAA normally pay an officer contribution as prescribed in the relevant Schedules to this Chapter. These contributions, based on ABS Household Expenditure Survey data, notionally recognise the normal living costs that might be incurred had an officer or dependants, or both, remained at the previous locality. Officer contributions are not normally required of officers who have dependants but who are at the new locality alone, but certain time limits apply.
9. Developmental programs
Participants in certain developmental programs (such as the Executive Development Scheme, the Personnel and Resource Management Scheme and the Interchange Program) are on temporary transfer and receive a reviewed rate of TA from day one of any work placement away from their headquarters.
10. Agency authority
Chief Executives have the authority to determine all TAA casework to finality.
11. Advance of TAA
Other Guidelines deal with advances of TAA for advance rents, bond monies and deposits relating to connection of public utilities for temporary rented accommodation.
12. Part-time officers
Eligible part-time officers are entitled to the same level of TAA as an equivalent full-time officer.
