11. COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS ON ILLNESS OR DEATH

 

11.1 Compensation

 

ADF members are covered by the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Scheme. It gives compensation for service-related injury, illness or death. If you would like more information about the scheme, you should contact the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) on 1300 550461 or go to the scheme website at http://www.mrcs.gov.au/. Claim forms are available on the site, or from DVA.

 

An earlier compensation scheme applies to injury, illness or death arising from ADF service before 1 July 2004. DVA can advise you on this.

 

Application to Reservists:  Yes.
