Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004

The Chief of the Defence Force is a rehabilitation authority for the purposes of this Chapter.

The Commission is a rehabilitation authority for the purposes of this Chapter.

The rehabilitation authority for a person at a time is:

subject to paragraph (aa), the Chief of the Defence Force for a time when the person:

is a Permanent Forces member, a continuous full‑time Reservist or a part‑time Reservist; and

has not been identified by or on behalf of the Chief of the Defence Force as being likely to be discharged from the Defence Force for medical reasons; or

if the Commission, after considering advice from the Chief of the Defence Force, determines, in writing, that the Commission is to be the rehabilitation authority for a specified person at a specified time—the Commission for that time; or

the Commission for any other time.

A determination made under paragraph (3)(aa) is not a legislative instrument.
