If you served in the ADF between 1988 and 2004, you may be eligible for entitlements under the DRCA – including compensation, medical care, and financial support.
Many veterans are unaware that the DRCA provides compensation for injuries, illnesses, and conditions linked to their military service. This can include medical treatment, rehabilitation, loss of income, and lump-sum payments for permanent impairment.
At Military Claims, our veteran-focused advocates understand the legislation and the challenges of transitioning out of service. We:
Assess your eligibility under DRCA legislation
Prepare and submit your claim on your behalf
Liaise directly with DVA for faster outcomes
Access trusted medical specialists for supporting evidence
Assist with reviews and reclassifications if your condition changes
We take the confusion out of the process so you can focus on your health and recovery.
The Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation (Defence-related Claims) Act 1988 (DRCA) is legislation that provides compensation and rehabilitation for current and former Australian Defence Force members. While it applies mainly to injuries or illnesses that occurred before 1 July 2004, many veterans from this era remain eligible but have never applied.
If you served between 1988 and 2004 and have a service-related injury or illness, let us help you secure the support you’ve earned.
