Financial Support Members will not be remunerated for their participation in the Working Group. However, the department will cover the travel costs for the member (or their proxy) to attend each meeting. This will include flights, accommodation (where required) and reimbursement of taxi fares. If a proxy is attending, these same conditions will apply. Travel costs will not be paid to any additional organisational staff approved to attend the meeting. Secretariat The Working Group secretariat for meetings will be provided by the department and will: prepare and distribute meeting agendas and related papers, preferably at least five business days ahead of the scheduled meeting; record minutes and actions items and circulate to members post-meeting; and coordinate travel arrangements for all members. Confidentiality Confidentiality is covered by the department’s Deed Poll of Confidentiality and Conflict of Interest’ and documents will be marked confidential if not to be circulated.
