As mentioned earlier in this response, the authorities for payments of this nature are contained in a variety of sources including the Public Sector Management Standards, Certified Agreements and Australian Workplace Agreements. The Public Sector Management Standards and a number of ACT Public Service Certified Agreements provide for the reimbursement of reasonable relocation costs up to the limit of $10,000 for a single person plus $1,700 per dependant ($1,500 per dependant for the seventh and successive dependants) with Chief Executives able to approve payments beyond these limits in exceptional circumstances. Australian Workplace Agreements may contain similar or enhanced entitlements depending on the provisions in the individual agreements.
