Compensation for veterans under scrutiny

The Productivity Commission will examine veterans' compensation and rehabilitation and whether government arrangements are appropriate.

Veterans will get their say on whether the system of compensation and rehabilitation available to them is adequate through a major new inquiry.

The Productivity Commission will spend the next 15 months examining whether the system of compensation and rehabilitation for veterans is fit for purpose, and reviewing the Veterans Affairs governance arrangements, administrative processes and service delivery.

"As we mark 100 years of repatriation and continue caring for the next generation of veterans, this inquiry will help inform how we deliver services for our ex-servicemen and women and their families into the future," Veterans Affairs Minister Darren Chester said in announcing the inquiry on Wednesday.
