Implementation
DVA will have responsibility for the implementation of the majority of recommendations. While Defence will have sole responsibility for some recommendations, DVA and Defence will jointly be responsible for the implementation of others. Some of these will require DVA and/or Defence to collaborate with other Government agencies to achieve the best outcome for members and former members of the ADF, their dependants and families.
The following table summarises the Government response to all 108 recommendations, plus one observation in the report.

I would like to thank the members of the Steering Committee for their comprehensive report on their review of the provisions for rehabilitation and compensation for members and former members of the ADF focusing on those with service after 1 July 2004.
I would encourage you all to read the report, as it contains valuable explanations of the military compensation system. I commend to you the Government response to the Review of Military Compensation Arrangements.
The Honourable Warren Snowdon, MP
Minister for Veterans' Affairs
Minister for Defence Science and Personnel
