DECLARATION UNDER SUBSECTION 196B(9)
OF THE VETERANS’ ENTITLEMENTS ACT 1986
CONCERNING ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME
OCTOBER 2024
The Repatriation Medical Authority (the Authority), under subsection 196B(9) of the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986 (the Act), makes the following declaration in respect of the investigation concerning antiphospholipid syndrome notified in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette of 25 June 2024.
The Authority declares that it does not propose to make a Statement of Principles concerning antiphospholipid syndrome, for the purposes of subsection 196B(2) or (3) of the Act, The reason is that the Authority is of the view that the sound medical and scientific evidence is insufficient to enable the Authority to determine factors for antiphospholipid syndrome which might be related to service. The sound medical and scientific evidence is therefore insufficient in order to determine Statements of Principles for antiphospholipid syndrome either on the basis of reasonable hypothesis or balance of probability.
Dated 18 October 2024.
Professor Terence Campbell AM
Chairperson
by and on behalf of
The Repatriation Medical Authority
