Reimbursement Process

To claim funding the following process must be followed:

• A Gymnastics WA reimbursement form along with the appropriate Tax invoices / receipts must be submitted to Gymnastics WA in order to receive reimbursement post-event.
• Applications for reimbursement must occur within 30 days of returning from the event / date of invoice.
• All Tax Invoices must be in the applicant's name and not the name of a third party.
• If using an online booking website to purchase flights or accommodation, it is essential that the company is able to provide Tax Invoices and not simply a receipt for the online transaction. Please be aware that many online companies (such as Expedia) are unable to provide Tax Invoices for online payments.
• For overseas expenditure, itemised receipts incuding the exchange rates at the time the expense was incurred are required. This is usually displayed on credit card / bank statements.

Please note:

Judges will be advised prior to the WAG Selection Meeting if their funding application has been successful. Any judges who are unsuccessful in receiving funding are still eligible to attend the event, but they must fully fund their trip.
