Simplified outline of Part 10
7.10.1 Simplified outline of Part 10
This Part provides utilities assistance to members to help manage the costs of maintaining two households due to the nature of their service.
Depending on who a member lives with and the type of accommodation they occupy, some members are able to claim a portion of their utility costs back each fortnight (see Division 1).
If a member is living in a tied residence or in living-in accommodation, they are required to contribute towards energy costs each fortnight (see Division 2). There are some exceptions to this.
Members occupying Service residences are eligible for advances on utility connection deposits, this includes members who are sharing (see Division 3). Evidence is required to verify the use of advances, and any unused funds must be repaid.
