BANKRUPTCY--OVERSEAS TRAVEL


PART 2 OF 2.

APPLY FOR PERMISSION TO GO OVERSEAS.

As soon as you become aware that you may need to leave Australia you should contact your trustee and discuss your situation. You should then write to your trustee giving:
-the reasons for the proposed trip.
-the names of the countries you propose to visit.
-the date you intend to leave Australia.
-the date you intend to return to Australia.
-if someone else is paying for the trip, the name of the person paying for the trip, the cost of the trip, and a confirming letter from that person.
-an email address, telephone number and overseas address where your trustee could readily contact you.
-your current annual income.
-your proposed arrangements for paying any contributions liability whilst overseas.

Your trustee may have adequate time and information to consider your request. Your request must be in writing so that your trustee understands exactly what you are requesting. You will be advised promptly of the trustee's decision and any conditions place on your travel.
If you are not satisfied with your trustee's decision, try to resolve your concerns with them directly. If you are still not satisfied with your trustee's decision, you may apply to the Federal Court or the Federal Magistrates Court for a review. You should seek legal advice before you do this.
