Introduction

General
    1 The Commonwealth Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation (Defence-Related Claims) Act 1988 (also referred to as the "DRCA") provides for payment of lump sum compensation for permanent impairment and non-economic loss resulting from injuries suffered by members of the Defence Force while engaged in defence service before 1 July 2004.
         Note 1: The DRCA refers to members (and former members) of the Defence Force who may be eligible for compensation under that Act as employees (see section 5 of that Act). The term "employee" is also used in this Guide to refer to such members and former members.
         Note 2: Compensation for injuries suffered by members of the Defence Force while engaged in defence service on or after 1 July 2004 is assessed under the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004.
         Note 3: Compensation for such injuries that became permanent before 1 December 1988 is assessed under the Compensation (Commonwealth Government Employees) Act 1971.
    2 The amount of compensation payable is to be assessed by reference to the degree of permanent impairment and the degree of non-economic loss determined by the MRCC under this Guide.
         Note: For the compensation payable, see sections
