MILITARY REHABILITATION AND COMPENSATION ACT 2004 - SECT 279

Treatment for members entitled to treatment under Defence regulations

    A member is entitled to be provided with treatment under this Part for a service injury or disease of the member if:

  (a)   the Commission has accepted liability for the injury or disease; and

  (b)   the member is entitled to medical and dental treatment under regulations made under the Defence Act 1903 ; and

  (c)   a claim for compensation in respect of the member has been made under section   319; and

  (d)   the Commission, after considering any advice from the Chief of the Defence Force, determines that it is more appropriate to provide treatment for the injury or disease under this Part than to provide such treatment under those regulations.

Note 1:   Compensation might be payable in respect of treatment obtained before the Commission determines that the person is entitled to treatment (see section   288A).

Note 2:   A person is not entitled to treatment for an aggravated injury or disease if the aggravation ceases (see section   283).
