Information For The Ex Serviceman Scheme
Information outlines how ex servicemen with war related disabilities qualify for Repatriation Commission support. Those rejected under the Australian Soldiers Repatriation Act are referred to Social Services. Disabilities not war related or arising after discharge may apply to the Department of Social Services for benefits. The aim is to aid ex members with serious illness or injury affecting employment, with applications reviewed by medical opinion. Rehabilitative consultative process decides acceptance, typically if disability lasts more than six weeks, though benefits may start from the date of accident or illness.
