NRFA Helping Truckies Have Their Say - HVRASC
Donation protected
We are aiming to raise money for any driver wanting to put in an application to the Heavy Vehicle Rest Area Steering Committee (HVRASC).
While the government has stated that any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses will be covered, it would seem that loss of income won't be. We understand that for many drivers wanting to apply, this may deter them from doing so.
The funds raised here will go towards any driver accepted to the HVRASC to help with any loss of income incurred by participating in the meetings.
**Please see the disclaimer for how funds will be distributed and how to apply if accepted**
- All monies raised via Gofund Me will be held in a dedicated fund-raising account managed by the National Road Freighters Association Inc. A financial report will be made available upon any donor's request when requested in writing.
- Distribution of donated monies must be made by application in writing addressed to The Treasurer and emailed to [email redacted].au from any person that has been selected and appointed via the relevant selection process as a representative as an owner-driver, owner-operator, or driver on any Federal or State Government sanctioned Steering/Consultative Committee that requires Drivers representation and the National Road Freighters Association Inc represent on the same Steering/Consultative Committee as an Industry Association.
- All monies claimed will only be gifted from the Donation Account for the purposes of enabling any person selected to represent as an owner-driver, owner-operator, or driver on any Federal or State Government sanctioned Steering/Consultative Committee that is not otherwise a claimable expense as per the claimable expenses of the relevant Steering/Consultative Committee that the person has been selected to represent.
- A maximum amount of $400 per day may be claimed for each day the Committee is required to sit. A higher amount may be considered, and the National Road Freighters Association Board will determine that amount. The Account Administrator (The Treasurer) retains the right to request proof of any financial loss to determine if an applicant qualifies for a higher amount.
- A payment from the dedicated fund-raising account is not guaranteed and is limited to the account balance at the time of a person's application. We, the National Road Freighters Association Inc, do not and will not be held liable or responsible for any shortfall of any amount within the dedicated fund-raising account. It should hereby be noted that once the account is exhausted, it is exhausted unless more funds are donated via the same Gofund Me page.
- All monies remaining within the dedicated fund-raising account shall be held in the account for any future Steering/Consultative Committees that require Driver representation.
- Should the National Road Freighters Association Inc cease to trade as an association, all monies remaining within the account will be donated in full to a nominated registered charity.
Important: All Monies will be paid to the recipient in gross, and it is the responsibility of any recipient to seek their own financial advice for any tax implications and responsibilities they may have regarding receiving such monies.
