1. Key policy requirements summary
These Travel procedures provide direction, guidance and information to support school-based staff to meet travel requirements.
It is mandatory for school-based staff to follow this policy and its procedures.
The information below provides a high-level overview of some of the key requirements for school-based staff undertaking different types of travel.
Travel bookings must only be confirmed after a trip has been formally approved by the relevant delegate or travel approver. Travellers must not self-approve their travel. Please contact the regional travel registrar for more information or assistance.
A Travel Request Authorisation (TRA) is a formal record of travel approval which is recorded in the travel application system (staff login required)(opens in a new window). Refer to How to complete a travel request authorisation via the travel application system (DOCX) (staff login required)(opens in a new window). The Travel approval documents checklist (DOCX) (staff login required)(opens in a new window) and templates for required documents are also available on the Resources tab.
A post-travel report (DOCX) (staff login required)(opens in a new window) is required for international and New Zealand trips and the completed report must be uploaded to the travel application in the travel application system within 14 days of return from travel.
For further procedural details, refer to the relevant chapters for Travel approvals, Travel Booking and Reporting.
