As a remote or regional participant am I able to claim any travel expenses?
The Board is able to provide financial assistance to those settlement agents who have to travel at least 100 kilometres (in one direction) to attend a CPD seminar or workshop in either Perth or Busselton. To obtain the subsidy, a statutory declaration detailing the distance travelled from where the agent is located to the venue of the seminar or workshop must be provided to the Registrar after the agent has attended a seminar. Please note that the amount of financial assistance that will be paid will be calculated on the distance the agent is located from the venue, not the overall distance travelled. For example, an agent travelling from Mandurah to Perth to attend a seminar, where the overall distance travelled exceeds 100 kilometres, will not be entitled to claim for the subsidy. An agent, who travels from a location further than 100 kilometres away, such as Albany or Kalgoorlie, will be.
