Govt restricting travel
Dear board members, Just curious if anyone working directly with government is experiencing any travel enforcements due to fuel prices? I'm aware that the federal government is imposing strict restrictions on employee travel and noticed this week that City of Perth has banned all staff and councillor travel until 31 July. I'm wanting to gauge the risk of travel restrictions that might affect people's decisions to attend APAX (aside from the obvious risks related to costs to travel). Any insights appreciated!

Hey Katherine. Frankston City hasn't imposed anything yet, and I have yet to hear of it within VIC but will do some subtle straw polling at Showcase Victoria over this Tuesday and Wednesday and report back.

I’m aware that the federal government is imposing strict restrictions on employee travel and noticed this week that City of Perth has banned all staff and councillor travel until 31 July. I’m wanting to gauge the risk of travel restrictions that might affect people’s decisions to attend APAX (aside from the obvious risks related to costs to travel). Any insights appreciated!
