Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004

The Commission must determine the amount of compensation payable under section 288A, 288B or 288C. The amount must be the amount the Commission considers reasonable for the cost of the treatment for a person’s injury or disease. However, the amount must not be more than the amount actually incurred in obtaining the treatment.

The amount determined by the Commission must not take into account increases in the cost of a particular treatment after that treatment has been obtained.

The amount of compensation for treatment includes the amount reasonably incurred (whether paid or payable) in the necessary replacement or repair of a medical aid used by the person. This may include any reasonable fees or charges of a practitioner, or other qualified person, for a consultation, examination, prescription, or other service that is reasonably rendered in connection with the replacement or repair.
