We now have the links up for EVERY STATE - Patient Travel and Accommodation Subsidy - to put some $$ back into YOUR pocket, instead of having additional massive "out of pocket" expenses just because you don't live in a big city.
(In NSW) if you've had to travel in excess of 100k One Way trip (or 200k a week on multiple trips) you have 2 years to put in your request for the subsidy. If you had to stay overnight, make sure you keep a copy of all receipts/dates & if you have a carer with you - you can claim for a portion of your own and their accommodation as well!
