Dear Valued Staff,
Staff who are accepting Community Access Shifts through firstcall HEALTH are required to fill out an additional Travel Expense Timesheet (as pictured).
Community Access Shifts are shifts where you are taking the client for an outing either in your vehicle or travel could be organised for you.
In the event you are required to take anyone in your own vehicle a travel allowance is valid from the time you pick up the client and take them to their destination and then back to the clients home. Travel allowance can also include any admission fees and or any parking fees paid incurred whilst taking the client to their outing however, clearly list these as separate items.
If your shift is a Community Access Shift, it will be explained to you at the time of being booked into the shift so you are aware that you need to fill out the Travel Expense Timesheet. If you do not fill out this timesheet, we will not be able to pay you the travel allowance and or any other expenses you may have incurred. In the rare circumstance this is different when you do arrive to your shift and you are being asked to accompany the client somewhere please ensure you contact the agency so we can also advise the referring organisation. Should this occur and only in this instance, we are happy to fill out the docket for you outlining the travel once you have advised us what that is.
If you require this travel expense timesheet, please contact us on 1300 984 400 and we will email you a copy. At any given time, upon acceptance of a community access shift a travel expense timesheet will be emailed to you.
