b) These invoices are from the Private Practice Fund which is used for the payment of domestic and international flights and accommodation for staff specialists who have been appropriately approved for Training Education and Study Leave. This Private Practice money is considered third party money, as it is based on the Private Practice earnings of the staff specialists and the Medical Education Expenses contribution from ACT Health, under Section 105 of the Medical Officers Enterprise Agreement.
The Private Practice Fund supports staff specialists and non staff specialists for training and education costs. Travel and accommodation is booked in accordance with the ACT Health Travel Policy via QBT and LIDO in accordance with the Whole of Government (WoG) travel contract. Amex is the centralised invoicing section for the WoG contract and as such all costs are paid monthly to Amex.
