Regional Travel Assistance Grant
The Regional Travel Assistance Grant is designed to support approved Family Day Care services by assisting with travel costs of coordination staff who are involved with supporting the network of carers in regional and remote areas.
Regional Travel Assistance Grant is available to Family Day Care services where a majority (more than 51 per cent) of their carers provide Family Day Care in regional or remote areas.
Travel may be undertaken by air if this is the most cost effective and convenient method for travel to remote locations.
How to Claim for Regional Travel Assistance Grant
Eligible Family Day Care services will be required to submit a Regional Travel Assistance Grant claim form to their relevant DEEWR State or Territory office at the end of each quarter during the funding year (e.g. If a funding agreement begins on 1 July 2009, the first claim will be due on 1 October 2009). Regional Travel Assistance Grant payments will be made by DEEWR to eligible Family Day Care Services quarterly in arrears.
