Applying for a Travel Card

Employees of CQUniversity who are required to travel in order to undertake their employment duties should apply to their supervisor for a Corporate Travel Card. It will be necessary to complete the following forms in the staff portal: 

Travel Card Application 
Travel Card Declaration and Acknowledgement

All Corporate Card related forms can be found in the staff portal.

Once the abovementioned Forms have been completed, verification of identification will be required. This can be done in three ways:

1.  Provide 100 points of acceptable Identification (refer List of Acceptable Documents and Identification Points ) verified by a JP or Commissioner of Declarations. All documentation must be attached to your application. 

2.  Take your Drivers Licence to a CQUniversity Verifying Officer for verification. Click here for a current list of CQUniversity Verifying Officers. The Verifying Officer will take a copy of your licence and this will be held on file. 

3.  If you are an existing CBA account holder, or a Purchasing Card holder, account details or a copy of your Purchasing Card will be sufficient. All details/documentation must be attached to your application. 

The completed Travel Card Application Form, Acknowledgement and Declaration and appropriate Identification must then be forwarded to FSD Accounts Payable & Supply Department, Building 65, Level 2, Rockhampton Campus. The Director FSD will approve the application, as a signatory to the University bank account and then the application will be posted to the Commonwealth Bank for processing. The Travel Card usually takes approximately 3 weeks to be delivered and once it arrives you will be contacted to arrange collection of your Card. If you are located at a campus other than Rockhampton, the Card will be forwarded to you by Registered Post. Once you have received your Card, you must activate it and ensure that you sign the back of the Card.  The Corporate Travel Card provider (CBA) will enclose information including Conditions of Use, which cardholders must comply with.

NB: When activating your card, you MUST speak to an operator at the Commonwealth Bank. CBA Phone Number - 13 15 76
