MILITARY REHABILITATION AND COMPENSATION ACT 2004 - SECT 31

Simplified outline of this Part

Even if the Commission decides that an injury, disease or death is a service injury, disease or death, the Commission might be prevented from accepting liability for that injury, disease or death because of an exclusion under this Part.

There are 5 kinds of exclusions. They relate to the following:

  (a)   serious defaults or wilful acts etc.;

  (b)   reasonable counselling about a person's performance as a member;

  (c)   false representations;

  (d)   travel during peacetime service;

  (e)   the use of tobacco products.

The Commission applies the standard of proof mentioned in subsection   335(3) in deciding whether the exclusions apply.
