We’ll pay the allowance if any of the following apply:
- you or a non-student traveller need accommodation during your trip, unless the transport carrier pays for these costs
- your family or community member, supervisor or travelling companion need accommodation somewhere because of transport timetables
- your family or community member needs to stay for a reasonable amount of time at your place of study to visit you.
The allowance covers either:
- the reasonable cost of main meals and accommodation if we, the educational institution or community arranges the accommodation
- a set allowance amount for meals and accommodation if you or the non-student traveller arranges the accommodation.
Your allowance won’t cover unreasonable expenses like minibar charges, extra daily room cleaning or room damage.
