2.4.6 Assistance in finding suitable work

Sections 61 and 62 of the MRCA place an onus on the relevant rehabilitation authority to assist a person, who is incapacitated as a result of a service injury or disease, to find suitable work. If a person is a full-time serving member, and not identified to be medically discharged, then suitable work is in the permanent ADF. For former members, reservists, Cadets and declared members, suitable work is civilian work.

Suitable work is defined in section 5 of the MRCA, as outlined in section 2.4.2 of this Library.
