On distant work, the employer must either supply reasonable board and lodging or else pay the weekly amount fixed by clause 18.7(a) of the current award (consolidated to 1 July 2026, read 30 September 2026), which is not wages. For part weeks at the start or end of the distant work, the employer pays the living expenses actually and reasonably incurred, up to that weekly amount. Reasonable lodging means a well-maintained establishment with good bedding, adequate furniture, good lighting, heating and floor coverings, hot and cold running water, and a single room, or where none is available, a twin room occupied by the employee alone. For each meal not covered by the fares or accommodation the employer arranged, the per-meal allowance in clause 18.7(a)(iii) is paid.
