    Agree with Sir H.

    On the other hand, I know of some schemes where people (usually lawyers) have locked themselves into office-bearer roles then expect professional-level fees, retrospectively, for the work they do.

    Strata law in NSW says committee members can only be paid for the committee work done in the previous year but they make it clear that they expect this remuneration every year. Personally, I would call their bluff.  You want power AND money? I don’t think so.

    But to answer the question, in NSW there is no limit on the amount, just on how it is paid.  In Queensland I believe there is a limit on how many times committee members can claim travel expenses for attending committee meetings.  Not sure about Victoria.
