Here is the response and further eligibility guidelines:
Dear BlacKnox
The Operating framework that governs the ABTC scheme (available on-line at
http://www.businessmobility.org/key/..._framework.pdf ) and outlines Australia's obligations to the other participating economies states that the card is only available to bona fide business people. Specifically,
section 3.1.3 states that:
"A bona fide business person is taken to mean a person who is engaged in
the trade of goods, the provision of services or the conduct of investment activities.
It specifically does not include:
• the business person’s dependent spouse and children;
• persons who wish to engage in paid employment or a working holiday;
• professional athletes, news correspondents, entertainers, musicians,
artists or persons engaged in similar occupations."
