Injured in the ADF?
The If you are a veteran or current / former ADF member and have an injury or illness casually related to your ADF service, or you were discharged on medical grounds, you may be entitled to benefits you didn’t even know about.
There are four Acts that provide compensation coverage for current and former members of the ADF. They are:
- Veterans’s Entitlement Act 1986 (VEA)
- Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 (SRCA)
- Military, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004 (MRCA)
- Defence Act 1903 (DA)
Which act applies to me?
