Improved military compensation arrangements The veteran and defence communities and their families are set to benefit from new military compensation arrangements passed through Parliament recently. The changes include increased compensation, expanded eligibility criteria and improvements to existing military compensation arrangements under the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act (2004) from 1 July 2013. ... This follows recommendations accepted by the Government as part of the recent Review of Military Compensation Arrangements. The Government allocated $17.4 million over four years to implement 96 of the 108 recommendations accepted in the Review. A further $14.6 million was allocated in the 2013-14 Budget in response to recommendation 25.1(a) regarding non-liability health care. More than half of the recommendations will be implemented by 1 July 2013. Implementation of the remaining recommendations is ongoing. For information on the Review, including a full list of improvements applying from 1 July, visit the ‘MRCA Review’ tab on the DVA website dva.gov.au
