On 2 February 2010, Minister for Defence Personnel, Materiel and Science, the Hon Greg Combet AM MP, announced the immediate establishment of a high powered ADF Payroll Remediation Task Force.
"The function of the Task Force will be to rectify current deficiencies in the ADF payroll system, and to accelerate the introduction of an improved pay system." The initial steps of the Task Force will include remediating pay issues that arise for individual ADF members, including the recent overpayments of the International Campaign Allowance.
The Task Force is co-chaired by the Vice Chief of the Defence Force and the Deputy Secretary Defence Support.
To support the Task Force, a Payroll Remediation Team (PRT) has been established.
