For regular travellers, an ANU purchase card is the preferred way of managing travel related expenses, however, for those individuals who do not hold an ANU Purchase Card, a Travel Allowance (Per-Diem) is available for both domestic and international travel. Per-Diems can also be accessed when travel is planned to locations where an ANU Purchase Card cannot be used. Meal and incidental per-diems for all staff and students will be paid at 50% of the minimum salary level category listed in the ATO's Taxation Determination for the applicable financial year.

• Travel allowances (per-diems) are payable from the time of arrival on the first leg of a trip until the time of departure for the final return leg (excluding any personal time).

• The Travel e-Form will auto-calculate the travel allowance payable.

• Approved travel per-diem requests will be forwarded to the Financial Shared Services Accounts Payable team through the Travel e-Form.

• To ensure funding is received in a timely manner, travellers are advised to submit the travel requests two weeks in advance of their trip and ensure the bank account details are up to date in ISIS/HORUS.

• All payments will be processed within seven days and payment will be made via electronic fund transfer.
