For those who are unsure, the IPTAAS is the Isolated Patients Travel and Accommodation Assistance Scheme.
Each State has their own assessment criteria and they are not equal ! For example, NSW appears to be far more generous than Victoria as to the kilometre requirements.
Whilst I did not print them out and study them I did notice that patients on clinical trials are not able to claim. There was a comment on one re a person's location when treatment began. It is well worth looking at the finer details on your State's website as situations vary.
