Outcome 5—Defence Force Services

Military Compensation and Rehabilitation Service

Current and former members of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) who suffer an injury or disease which is causally related to employment in the ADF are provided with compensation and rehabilitation benefits and services.

Description

The traditional provider of services to the veteran community for more than 80 years, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs in recent years has broadened its role to providing a number of services to current and former members of the Australian Defence Force and their families.

These services are being integrated into the Department’s administration through the Defence and DVA Links Project, which since 1998–99 has been exploring common business interests that may lead to a more efficient administration of services to both the veteran and defence force communities. As the size of the veteran population decreases, the Defence and DVA Links Project is setting out a long-term course for DVA within the wider Defence portfolio.
