The Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004 (MRCA) Education and Training Scheme (MRCAETS) provides financial assistance, student support services, guidance and counselling for eligible children to help them achieve their full potential in education and career training. The MRCAETS has been developed to help support children undertaking primary, secondary and tertiary study, apprenticeships and traineeships, and is normally provided only for full-time study within Australia. Support may also be available in limited circumstances for approved part‑time study.
Benefits available under the MRCAETS may include:
- Education allowance
- Additional Tuition
- Special Assistance
- Fares Allowance
- Guidance and counselling
- Student Start-up and Relocation Scholarships
Payments and services administered by the MRCAETS may also include support delivered on behalf of other Australian Government entities, where eligibility requirements are met
