Accommodations
- Road travel is charged at $0.65 per km for venues outside metropolitan Melbourne.
- Meals, hotel lodging, and travel expenses are required for bookings more than two hours drive from Melbourne CBD.

- Meals are charged at the per diem rate of $60 per day (including travel days), less if the event is catered or I am staying in private accommodation.
- Travel includes airfare, transport to and from airports, and any baggage fees.
