MINISTERIAL Travel 2022

This data set covers Ministerial foreign travel, home travel and subsistence. The mission of the Department’s Foreign Travel Section is to provide for the foreign travel needs, both travel and accommodation, of Ministers of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. Travel and subsistence expenses not covered by the Foreign Travel Section can be claimed through NSSO separately by Ministers on official business – for either home travel or foreign travel. These costs are then charged back to the Department. In some instances costs are covered by Department of Foreign Affairs which are then charged back to the Department. Ministers will be reimbursed expenditure necessarily incurred in the course of official duty away from home or headquarters. Where possible, all travel should be by the shortest practicable routes and by the cheapest practicable mode of conveyance. This data set is updated quarterly but all costs may not be included until advised to the Department.本数据集涵盖部长级外事出访、国内差旅及生活津贴相关事项。住房、地方政府与遗产部（Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage）下属外事旅行部门的职责是为该部部长的外事出行（含行程安排与住宿）提供保障。 未由外事旅行部门覆盖的差旅及生活津贴费用，部长可因公务通过NSSO单独申报，申报范围涵盖国内差旅与外事出访相关开支，相关费用最终将向本部核销追偿。部分情况下，相关开支由外交部（Department of Foreign Affairs）先行垫付，后续再向本部核销追偿。 部长因公务离家或离开本部办公地点产生的必要开支，将予以报销。在条件允许的情况下，所有出行应选择最便捷的最短路线，并采用成本最低的可行交通方式。本数据集按季度更新，但所有开支信息可能需待本部收到相关通知后才能完整纳入数据集。
