Defence can pay for your travel if you're moving to a new location. If you have resident family or recognised other persons, Defence can also pay for their travel costs.
You're eligible for travel benefits if you're getting a Defence paid move.
Toll Transitions helps you organise travel to your new location. They pay any allowances into your chosen bank account before you move.
Organising your travel
Complete Part E in your Application for relocation form. You can do this in your Toll online account.
You can choose to drive or fly to your new location.
Travelling by air
Toll will book and pay for your flights. You'll get travelling allowance which includes covering your travel to and from the airport. Defence can pay to freight your vehicle to your new location.
If you're flying to a regional area or you'll be travelling with a lot of baggage, speak to your case manager. They can book your excess baggage in advance.
Driving your vehicle
You can drive your vehicle to your new location. You'll be eligible for vehicle removal assistance.
Other travel when moving
If you've moved before your resident family or recognised other persons, you can travel to your old location to help them move.
If you've been away from your old location, you can travel there to supervise the pack-up. This only applies if you're single or don't have anyone else who can help. If you can't travel, you can choose someone to go in your place.
Speak to your Commanding Officer about how to apply for travel benefits.
