TAFE SA Regulations 2026

Subject to subregulation (2), if a prescribed employee is transferred to another place of employment with TAFE SA and moves residence as a result of that transfer, the employee is entitled to be paid the following:

the cost of the removal of the employee's household furniture and effects removed under arrangements made or approved by the Chief Executive;

and

a packing allowance determined by the Chief Executive;

and

the cost of any fares paid for moving the employee and their dependent family to the new residence; and

such other expenses as the Chief Executive may determine—

of which satisfactory proof is provided; and

that have been, in the opinion of the Chief Executive, necessarily and reasonably incurred by the employee or their dependent family in connection with the transfer.

Subregulation (1) does not apply if a prescribed employee is transferred solely at their own request after less than

3 years' satisfactory service at a place of employment with

TAFE SA.

Where a person is first employed as a prescribed employee and moves residence as a result of that employment, the employee is entitled to be paid the following:

if the prescribed employee was resident in this State at the time of the employment—the amounts specified in subregulation (1); or

if the prescribed employee was resident outside this State at the time of the employment—any amount approved by the Chief Executive prior to the employment for costs and expenses of a kind referred to in subregulation (1).

If a prescribed employee retires or dies while employed at a location to which they moved wholly or largely at the expense of TAFE SA and the employee, or their surviving spouse or domestic partner, (as the case may be) moves residence on that retirement or death to another location in

South Australia, the employee or surviving spouse or domestic partner is entitled to be paid the amounts specified in subregulation (1), subject to the following limitations:

in the case of a prescribed employee who was resident in this State at the time of their employment as a prescribed employee—travelling expenses are limited to not more than the amounts that would be payable under that subregulation on removal from their current location back to that original residence;

in the case of a prescribed employee resident outside this State at the time of their employment as a prescribed employee—all amounts specified in subregulation (1) are limited to not more than the amounts that would be payable under that subregulation on removal from their current location to Adelaide.

The Chief Executive may authorise the payment to a prescribed employee who is transferred to another place of employment with TAFE SA and moves residence as a result of that transfer of an allowance approved by the Chief Executive for the depreciation of the employee's household furniture and effects, except where—

the employee is establishing a home for the first time;

or

the employee has less than 3 years' satisfactory service at a place of employment with TAFE SA and is transferred solely at their own request.

The Chief Executive may, where travelling expenses are payable under this regulation, grant an allowance to the employee concerned in lieu of payment of those expenses.

Despite this regulation, the Chief Executive may approve the payment—

of an allowance greater than is otherwise payable under this regulation; or

the whole or part of an allowance of a kind provided for in this regulation to a prescribed employee who is not entitled to claim such an allowance.

For the purposes of this regulation a transfer will not be taken to be solely at an employee's own request if the employee applied for the transfer to another place of employment with TAFE SA in response to a call by

TAFE SA for such applications.
