than three years' service who, at the date of their engagement for service, was
resident in the relevant area.

6. Part E -
Reimbursement of Certain Expenses Related to Medical or Dental Treatment
6.1 The provisions of
subclauses 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5 and 6.6 of this clause apply only to a teacher
who is appointed to a school included in Appendix A of this schedule, but do
not apply to a teacher -
6.1.1 who for the time being is on maternity leave; or
6.1.2 who is married to a spouse or has a partner normally
resident in the locality, unless such spouse or partner is normally and usually
dependent upon the teacher as a consequence of illness, incapacity or other
reasonable inability to earn an income sufficient to support themselves and or
his or her child or children, as the case may be.
6.2 Where a teacher
reasonably incurs reimbursable expense, the amount thereof shall be paid to
that teacher upon written application made to the Secretary.
6.2.1 A teacher shall
not be disentitled to such payment merely by reason of the fact that the
reimbursable expense incurred was in relation to the attendance by or upon a
duly qualified practitioner who was not the nearest duly qualified practitioner
available at the relevant time if special circumstances in the particular case
render it desirable that the services of some other duly qualified practitioner
be sought.
6.2.2 In any instance
in which it is necessary for the teacher or the partner of the teacher or some
other attendant to accompany the person in respect of whom reimbursable expense
is incurred then, upon written application by the teacher to the Secretary, the
additional travel and accommodation costs reasonably and actually incurred
shall be paid to the teacher.
6.3 A teacher who
claims payment of reimbursable expenses shall provide such evidence in
substantiation of the claim as the Secretary may reasonably require.
6.4 The Secretary
shall be entitled to refuse payment of any claim where it appears that the
expense arose as a direct consequence of the serious and wilful misconduct or
gross negligence of the person in respect of whom the expense was incurred.
6.5 A teacher
shall, in respect of any occurrence which gives rise to the incurring of
reimbursable expense, take all reasonable steps to recover any insurance,
contributory fund, workers' compensation or other benefits or common law
damages as may lawfully be payable in respect thereof and any sum actually
recovered in respect of items of reimbursable expense under this Schedule shall
be brought to credit as against the Secretary's liability for the same. If any such sum shall be recovered
subsequently to payment by the Secretary of reimbursable expense to a teacher,
that teacher shall make an appropriate repayment. The Secretary shall not be entitled to
withhold payment of reimbursable expense merely upon the ground that it or some
portion of it may be recoverable at some time in the future from a third party.
6.6 The Secretary
may, by notice in writing, require any teacher to effect and keep on foot a
policy of insurance or membership of a medical fund to cover that teacher's
liability for items of the nature of reimbursable expense under this schedule.
6.6.1 In any such
case, the Secretary shall reimburse to the teacher the amount by which any
premium or contribution incurred in so doing exceeds the following amounts:

6.6.2 If a teacher
fails to comply with a requirement made by the Secretary under this subclause, such
teacher shall not be entitled to claim any reimbursable expense which, but for
their failure, would have been recouped to that teacher as a result of the
relevant insurance or membership.
6.7 When a teacher
is necessarily absent from duty for the purpose of securing advice and or
treatment from a duly qualified practitioner for such teacher or dependent
partner or child of such teacher, any period of such absence involved in
travelling to or from the place of residence of the teacher to the place at which
the advice or treatment is obtained shall not be debited against any sick leave
credit to which that teacher is entitled.
Provided that this clause shall be without prejudice
to the right of the Secretary in their discretion to temporarily appoint the
teacher to a school nearer to the place of consultation or treatment where they
may deem it desirable so to do.
6.8 The Secretary
shall be entitled to decline payment of reimbursable expense to a teacher in
any instance in which such expense relates to a non urgent
elective consultation or treatment which might reasonably have been sought
during a vacation period whilst the teacher or their relevant dependent
partner, child or children (as the case may be) had, in the normal course,
travelled to a location at which the type of consultation or treatment could be
obtained.
7. Part F - Payment of
Allowances According to Marital Status (Payment of Allowances Regardless of
Marital Status)
7.1 Subject to
subclause 7.2 of this clause, where a married couple consists of two teachers
who are otherwise eligible for payment of an allowance under this schedule

teacher shall only be entitled to one half of the allowance provided therein
for a teacher with a dependent partner;
7.1.2 subclause 3.3 of clause 3 of this schedule, each teacher
shall only be entitled to one half of the allowance provided therein for a
teacher with a dependent child or children;
7.1.3 clause 4 of this schedule, each teacher shall only be
entitled to one half of the motor vehicle allowance applicable to a single
teacher;
7.1.4 clause 5 of this schedule, each teacher shall only be
entitled to one half of the vacation travel allowance; and
7.1.5 subclause 6.2 of clause 6 of this schedule, each teacher
shall not qualify for reimbursement of expenses in so far as the teacher's
partner qualifies for and claims reimbursement as a teacher.
7.2 Where a married
couple includes a teacher entitled to allowances under the award and a person
entitled to a similar allowance pursuant to the Crown Employees (Public Service
Conditions of Employment) Award 2009 published 31 July 2009 (368 I.G. 884) as
varied, or its successor, the teacher shall only receive the difference between
that allowance and the married couple or dependent allowances under this
schedule.

Allowance Committee shall be established for the purpose of -
8.1.1 investigating all matters in dispute and reporting and
