1  Section 5 (definition of disease)
Repeal the definition, substitute:

disease means:
 (a) any physical or mental ailment, disorder, defect or morbid condition (whether of sudden onset or gradual development); or
 (b) the recurrence of such an ailment, disorder, defect or morbid condition;
but does not include:
 (c) the aggravation of such an ailment, disorder, defect or morbid condition; or
 (d) a temporary departure from:
 (i) the normal physiological state; or
 (ii) the accepted ranges of physiological or biochemical measures;
  that results from normal physiological stress (for example, the effect of exercise on blood pressure) or the temporary effect of extraneous agents (for example, alcohol on blood cholesterol levels).

Note: This amendment corrects the formatting, but does not change the wording, of the definition of disease in section 5 of the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004.
