We’ll give you a copy of the itinerary.

What information we need

If you claim before your trip, we’ll need some information including:

• your personal details, such as your name and address
• your supervisor’s details, if they’re travelling with you
• the purpose of the travel
• where you’re travelling to and from
• preferred travel dates
• accommodation transfer and excess baggage needs.

Example of a student not at secondary school

Danzel completed Year 10 at a secondary school. He left his secondary school and is now completing his Year 11 and 12 studies at TAFE. This makes Danzel a secondary student not at a secondary school.
