16.11. LEAVE FOR BASS STRAIT ISLAND POSITIONS
16.11.1 Where a member is permanently stationed on the Bass Strait Islands and embarks on approved leave of absence, the member may, three times in every year, of the member's appointment to the position, on the determination of the Controlling Authority, be paid the return fares reasonably incurred by that member and for any of that member's dependant relatives permanently resident on the Bass Strait Islands, while travelling from the member's station to the nearest seaport or airport on the mainland of this State. Such travel shall include travel via Melbourne when indirect travel is the most expedient means of travelling to or returning from the nearest seaport or airport on the mainland of this State.
PROVIDED that:
(a) with the approval of the Controlling Authority a member may, in substitution for travel to the nearest seaport or airport in this State, travel to any other seaport in this State or to Melbourne;
(b) for the purpose of obtaining emergency medical or dental treatment for a member or dependent relative of the member's family, permanently resident on the Bass Strait Islands, a member may by way of reimbursement and, with the approval of the Controlling Authority, be paid the return fare reasonably incurred for travel from the member's station to the nearest centre in this State or to Melbourne, where such treatment can be obtained. Such reimbursement shall be in substitution for one (or all) of the return economy fares for the person concerned, more particularly set forth in this clause.
16.11.2 The above entitlement is not cumulative, each year standing alone.
16.11.3 No member shall be eligible to receive payment for the return economy fares as set forth above unless such member has first completed three months' continuous service on one or other of the Bass Strait Islands.
