      In this instrument:
                             being overweight or obese means having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25 or greater.
                             BMI means W/H2 and where:
W is the person's weight in kilograms; and
H is the person's height in metres.
     cumulative equivalent dose means the total dose of ionising radiation received by the particular organ or tissue from external exposure, internal exposure or both, apart from normal background radiation exposure in Australia, calculated in accordance with the methodology set out in Guide to calculation of 'cumulative equivalent dose' for the purpose of applying ionising radiation factors contained in Statements of Principles determined under Part XIA of the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986 (Cth), Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency, as in force on 2 August 2017.
          Note 1: Examples of circumstances that might lead to exposure to ionising radiation include being present during or subsequent to the testing or use of nuclear weapons, undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic medical procedures involving ionising radiation, and being a member of an aircrew, leading to increased levels of exposure to cosmic radiation.
          Note 2: For the purpose of dose reconstruction, dose is calculated as an average over the mass of a specific tissue or organ. If a tissue is exposed to multiple sources of ionising radiation, the various dose estimates for each type of radiation must be combined.
                             cyclical combined hormone replacement therapy means the administration of oestrogen combined with the cyclical administration of progestogen for less than 15 days during each treatment cycle, to combat surgically induced or naturally occurring menopause.
                             malignant neoplasm of the endometrium—see subsection 7(2).
                             MET means a unit of measurement of the level of physical exertion.  1 MET = 3.5 ml of oxygen/kg of body weight per minute, 1.0 kcal/kg of body weight per hour or resting metabolic rate.
                             MRCA means the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004.
                             nulliparous means having never given birth to a viable infant.
                             oestrogen-only hormone replacement therapy means the continuous, cyclical or intermittent administration of unopposed oestrogen, including diethylstilbestrol, to combat surgically induced or naturally occurring menopause.
                             pack-years of cigarettes, or the equivalent thereof in other tobacco products means a calculation of consumption where one pack-year of cigarettes equals 20 tailor-made cigarettes per day for a period of one calendar year, or 7 300 cigarettes.  One tailor-made cigarette approximates one gram of tobacco or one gram of cigar or pipe tobacco by weight.  One pack-year of tailor-made cigarettes equates to 7.3 kilograms of smoking tobacco by weight.  Tobacco products mean cigarettes, pipe tobacco or cigars, smoked alone or in any combination.
                             polycystic ovary syndrome means a clinical symptom complex, also known as Stein-Leventhal syndrome, associated with polycystic ovaries and characterised by oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea,
