What are the main injury compensation schemes?
- Eligible members and former members of the Australian Defence Force usually receive injury compensation via one of two schemes depending on the year in which their injury occurred.
- Compensation under the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Scheme may available if your injury occurred on or after 1 July 2004.
- Compensation under the Comcare scheme may be available if your injury occurred before 1 July 2004.
- If you have any other questions about your eligibility under either of these schemes you can use our free and anonymous Ask a Lawyer service.
