  Part AA – Class of Person

    A dependant of a veteran under the VEA or a dependant of a member or former member under the MRCA.

  Part B – Kind of Treatment

    for a person in Part A:

           * residential care;

           * residential care (respite);

           * Respite Care; and

           * non-subsidised residential care (respite);

      under the Treatment Principles under the VEA — for any injury, disease or condition (e.g. frailty) that is not mentioned in Part A.

    for a person in Part AA:

           * residential care;

           * residential care (respite);

           * Respite Care; and

           * non-subsidised residential care (respite);

      under the Treatment Principles under the VEA for any condition that is not an injury or disease (e.g. frailty).

    Note (1): an example of how this instrument operates is where a former member with a mobility impairment of the right leg, being a service injury or disease, is receiving residential care treatment for the condition and the person also has a mobility impairment of the left leg, that is not a service injury or disease.

    In practice residential care treatment (e.g. personal assistance) would not differentiate between the two conditions albeit, strictly speaking, but for this instrument the application of the residential care treatment to the non-service-related condition would not be covered under Department of Veterans' Affairs treatment arrangements.

    This instrument grants the person eligibility for residential care treatment of the non-service-related condition thereby resolving a technical eligibility issue.

    Note (3): Although this instrument confers eligibility on a member or former member for a treatment partly available under the MRCA i.e. residential care/residential care (respite) applied to a service injury or disease, the remainder of the treatment i.e. residential care/residential care (respite) applied to a non-service injury or disease, can, under this instrument, only be provided under the VEA.
