MRCA Regulation 20 prescribes that the remuneration amount is indexed annually from 1 July, by reference to the percentage increase in the ADF Workplace Remuneration Arrangements at 31 December of the previous year.
As a matter of policy, where the civilian component of NE is indexed in accordance with the Wage Price Index, any deemed ability to earn in civilian work should also be indexed by the same method.
