Welcome

Welcome to the new CLIK system. As a result of legislative requirements, CLIK is now available only here on this website. This is the only up to date version of CLIK, and supersedes all previously distributed versions.

Important notices

Please take note that the Comlaw.gov.au website has changed its name and address to Legislation.gov.au. All references to Comlaw.gov.au (including links to legislative instruments) will be changed to reflect this. However, the changes will take some time. Thank you for your patience.

The History section has been removed, as it is superseded by the ANZAC Portal website.

About CLIK

The Consolidated Library of Information and Knowledge (CLIK) contains legislative, policy, and reference material used by DVA staff in providing service to the clients of the Department of Veterans' Affairs.

It is prepared by DVA from internal policy and material sourced from other agencies such as legislation and legislative instruments from the Federal Register of Legislation, which is the authorised whole-of-government website for Commonwealth legislation, and related documents including the Statements of Principles which are prepared by the Repatriation Medical Authority.

The CLIK website is organised into the following sections:
