Determinations of Continuous Full-Time Service

The following is a list of all currently in force instruments deeming certain service by members of the Defence Force to be continuous full-time service under section 5R(1)(b) of the Veterans’ Entitlements Act 1986. 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 timeframes given span the dates covered by the items in each instrument, but each individual item may specify a different period within that timeframe.
