This instrument revokes all previous instruments under section 1.3.5A of Defence Determination 2016/19, Conditions of service, and introduces new approved forms for actions such as applying for recognition of a dependant with special needs, applying for career transition assistance, and applying for health support allowance. The policy objective is to provide clear and accessible forms to facilitate the processing of various applications and claims by Defence personnel.

Scope and Application

The Defence Determination 2016/19 (Approved forms) Instrument 2022 (No. 3) is a notifiable instrument designed to regulate the forms approved for various applications and notifications within the Defence Force. This instrument applies to Defence Force members and their dependants, as well as relevant Defence Force offices and entities responsible for processing these applications and notifications. It serves to standardise and approve the specific forms required for actions such as applying for recognition of a dependant with special needs, applying for health support allowance, or notifying absence from car parking location to cease contribution, among others. The instrument commences on the day after its registration and revokes all previous instruments made under section 1.3.5A of Defence Determination 2016/19. The instrument’s reach is limited to Defence Force members and related personnel, ensuring that all actions and notifications comply with the approved forms listed within the instrument.
