WHAT IS LAFHA?

It is a “Living away from home allowance”

Not everyone who leaves their home residence for work is eligible to receive LAFHA. To receive LAFHA you must;

• Relocate to another town or city for work purposes (for longer than 21 days)
• Maintain your primary residence whilst you work away (cannot lease or sell the property)
• Return home after the work has been finished
