This information reflects policy made by DVA and is used in the assessment of claims. It does not reflect the views or opinions of any other government body or authority.

Before relying on the material you should independently check its relevance for your purposes, and obtain any appropriate professional advice.

Important legislative change

Note that the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation (Defence-related Claims) Act 1988 (DRCA) commenced on 12 October 2017.

As a result of this legislative change, the Department is updating its published information, including hardcopy and website content, as well as CLIK. While this process is well underway, it will take some time before all changes are complete. In the meantime, references within CLIK to the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 or SRCA should now generally be understood to be references to the new DRCA (with the exception of intended historical references to SRCA). It is important to note that the same provision references (i.e., sections, subsections and paragraphs) from the SRCA have been retained in the DRCA.

We appreciate your patience during this change process.
