Section 9A — Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986: Most war-caused injuries, diseases and deaths no longer covered by this Act

(1) A veteran’s injury, disease or death is taken not to be war-caused if: (a) the injury is sustained, the disease is contracted, or the death occurs, on or after the MRCA commencement date; and (b) the injury, disease or death either: (i) relates to service rendered by the person on or after that date; or (ii) relates to service rendered by the person before, and on or after, that date. Note: After the MRCA commencement date, compensation is provided under the MRCA (instead of this Act) for such injuries, diseases and deaths. (3) To avoid doubt, service is rendered before, and on or after, the MRCA commencement date whether the service spans the commencement date or is rendered during separate periods before and on or after that date.
