Latest Travel Updates - information for UQ travellers
11 March 2025 - UQ travel allowance rates increase
Following a recent review, UQ travel allowance rates will increase from 1 April 2025.
The travel allowance is calculated per overnight stay while travelling on UQ business.
Claims submitted for travel on or after the implementation date of 1 April 2025 will be paid at the new rate.
If you have already submitted a travel allowance claim for a trip that begins on or after 1 April 2025, or for a trip that overlaps the effective date, the Payment Services team will contact you to further discuss your claim.
Once a claim is fully approved in ExpenseMe Pro, it will be paid into your personal bank account, normally at least 5 days prior to your departure. If the claim is approved closer to or after the travel date, it will be paid in the next available payment run.
More information regarding travel allowances can be found on the UQ Travel webpage. Alternatively, you can reach out to the FBS Tax team with any questions.
