Advice and Travel Claim Processing Deadlines

Published

IPEA will close in the afternoon on Tuesday 24 December 2024, and re-open Thursday 2 January 2025.

Advice

  • Emails received at enquiries@ipea.gov.au by Friday 20 December will be responded to by Tuesday, 24 December 2024.

  • Over the shut-down period, we will monitor the enquiries@ipea.gov.au mailbox and endeavour to respond to urgent travel enquiries within 2 days.  

Travel Claims processing

  • IPEA’s cut off date for the payment of travel claims before the end-of-year shutdown is COB Friday 13 December 2024. 

  • This means that we need to have received a correct claim that has been certified in PEMS, or (in the case of a paper form) submitted to forms@ipea.gov.au by COB Friday 13 December 2024 to allow enough time for the claim to be processed in time for payment before the end of the year.  

  • Any claims certified in PEMS on or after 14 December 2024 may not be paid until 2 January 2025. 

 

We thank you for your support throughout 2024 and wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season.
