Assigned for Service Instruments
The following is a list of all instruments naming units assigned for service under section 6D(1) of the Veterans’ Entitlements Act 1986 (VEA) that are currently in force. This table is a summary only and the information in it should not be used in place of that contained in the actual instruments to which it refers. The locations given are a general description only. For the exact locations to which each instrument refers, see the relevant part of section 6D(1) of the VEA. The timeframe given spans the dates covered by the items in the instrument, but each individual item may specify a different period within that timeframe. Not all units are assigned for the whole timeframe covered by the instrument. The instrument itself should be consulted for specific details of units assigned and the periods for which they have been assigned.
For privacy reasons, the instruments are not available online. Copies of all instruments are held by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs and can be looked up by staff on request.
For more information on this kind of service, see the Assigned for Service sections under Allotted for Duty .
