District Allowance update.
on Friday, 26 June 2015. Posted in News, District Allowances
The 2013 Regional Price Survey saw a drop in the Regional Price Index (RPI) of a number of regional locations. RPI is the measure used as the cost of living component used in the calculation of District Allowances and, consequently, the allowance rates in these locations also decreased; most significantly in Karratha/Dampier, the Pilbara and the Kimberley. The final phase of the 2013 2-year adjustment will come into effect this month (July). Get the details here.
