Current RMA Investigations:
The provisions of the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004 ['the MRCA'] and the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Act 2004 pertaining to claims for compensation under the MRCA commenced on 1 July 2004. By virtue of sections 338 and 339 of the MRCA, claims under section 319 for acceptance of liability for an injury, disease or death that relates to warlike, non-warlike or peacetime service arising on or after 1 July 2004 under the MRCA are determined by reference to Statements of Principle issued by the Repatriation Medical Authority pursuant to section 196B of the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986. In light of the commencement of the MRCA, the RMA has decided to provide further notice of all investigations outstanding as at 1 July 2004. The notices are expected to appear in the Government Notices Gazette of 14 July 2004 and 28 July 2004. The notices have been drafted in order that those parties who have gained a right to make a submission to the RMA on a matter relevant to an investigation by virtue of the provisions of the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation (Consequential and Transition Provisions) Act 2004 are able to do so, and the time for making submissions on any of the outstanding investigations has been extended to 10 September 2004.
