6.1.20 Purpose
6.1.21 Pet relocation
Example 1: Costs of the services of a commercial provider of transport for pets. This includes hire of pet containers.
Example 2: Costs of the commercial boarding or kennelling of pets when the member is on temporary accommodation allowance in the former and new locations. This includes accommodation in a serviced apartment.
Example 3: Vet fees for sedating a pet when a vet or a transporter recommends sedation during transportation.
Non-Example: A member's brother is a licensed plumber and has an Australian Business Number. The member's brother offers to transport the member's dog to the new housing benefit location for $100. The cost of relocating the dog will not be reimbursed to the member because his brother's business is not transporting or boarding household pets.
