Mutual Obligations
Mutual Obligations
During the rotation of deployed forces it is incumbent upon all those responsible for pay administration, including individual members, to ensure that the appropriate assurance checks are conducted in a timely manner.
Commanders at all levels and administrative staff are responsible for ensuring that adequate due diligence processes and controls are implemented to ensure anomalies are identified at the earliest opportunity and remediated as soon as possible.
In addition, each individual has a mutual obligation to ensure the pay and allowances they are paid each fortnight reflect their circumstance. Personnel are encouraged to regularly check their Salary Variation Authority (SVA) online.
In line with Defence values all members have a responsibility to report any anomalies they discover in their pay in a timely manner through their Chain of Command, and/or to their supporting administrative staff.
If you, as a member or Commanding Officer/Officer Commanding need advice regarding any aspect of pay, you should promptly contact the Defence Service Centre on 1800 DEFENCE (1800 333 362).
