Living away from home for work?

If you’re living away from home for work, you can get more out of every dollar by packaging your meals and accommodation.

How it works

After registering with SmartSalary, tell us how much you’d like set aside for food and rent each pay cycle.

We’ll let your employer know to regularly set aside that amount – from your pre-tax salary. This will be a recurring payment, so once you’ve given us permission, we’ll make sure you’re reimbursed on an ongoing basis, until you tell us to stop.

What you need to know

If you want to package this item, you’ll need to get permission and sign off from your employer for the amount you want returned to you.  

Also keep in mind that the ATO has some guidelines limiting the amount you spend on food each week, which you’ll need to stick to - if you're interested in packaging this item, we'll let you know all the details.
