Outcome 5—Defence force services

Military Compensation and Rehabilitation Service

The MCRS provides compensation services to eligible Australian Defence Force members and their dependants with no distinction on eligibility made on the basis of rank, race or creed.

Appeal and review mechanisms are available for clients who do not agree with a decision made by the MCRS. Rights include access to an internal review followed by application to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, with a mandatory conciliation step.

Transition Management Service

The Transition Management Service (TMS) has been established to provide practical and needs-oriented services for ADF members facing invalidity discharge. The support provided by the TMS includes assistance with civilian employment options, compensation, superannuation, financial planning, transition adjustment issues, and health insurance and community support arrangements.
