1               Definitions
In this instrument:
                               latitude equivalent hours means hours of exposure multiplied by the appropriate latitude weighting factor as follows:
(a)          For tropical latitudes (23.5° South to 23.5° North) multiply by 1.0;
(b)          For subtropical latitudes (23.6° - 35°) multiply by 0.75;
(c)          For warm temperate latitudes (35.1° - 45°) multiply by 0.5;
(d)          For cool temperate latitudes (45.1° - 65°) multiply by 0.25.
Note 1: sunlight exposure is calculated as the sum of sunlight exposure in each separate latitude, accounting for the different sunlight intensity in each latitude (weighting factor).
Note 2: Sum of sunlight exposure = (sunlight hours spent in tropical latitude x tropical latitude weighting factor) + (sunlight hours spent in subtropical latitude x subtropical latitude weighting factor) + (sunlight hours spent in warm temperate latitude x warm temperate latitude weighting factor) + (sunlight hours spent in cool temperate latitude x cool temperate latitude weighting factor)
                               MRCA means the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004.
                   pterygium—see subsection 7(2).
     relevant service means:
 1.           eligible war service (other than operational service) under the VEA;
(b)          defence service (other than hazardous service and British nuclear test defence service) under the VEA; or
(c)          peacetime service under the MRCA.
Note: MRCA and VEA are defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
                                  terminal event means the proximate or ultimate cause of death and includes the following:
(a)           pneumonia;
(b)           respiratory failure;
(c)           cardiac arrest;
(d)           circulatory failure; or
(e)           cessation of brain function.
                                  VEA means the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986.
