Division 6: Removals if dependant status changes

14.3.23 Purpose

   This Division describes the removal benefits for a member whose domestic or marital status changes, while serving overseas on long-term posting.

14.3.24 Member marries or has partnership recognised at posting location

   When a member marries or has a partnership recognised at the posting location, there is no removal benefit to have the partner's possessions moved to the member's permanent accommodation overseas.

14.3.25 Member marries or has partnership recognised away from posting location

1.  If a member marries elsewhere than the posting location, the CDF may grant a removal of personal effects to the posting location. These conditions apply.
    a.                                                                                                                                                                                         The member must have at least 12 months' service remaining at the posting location. This time is effective from the approved date the member's partner travels to accompany the member at the overseas location.
    b.                                                                                                                                                                                         Only the partner's personal possessions and wedding presents are removed from the place of marriage, to the member's permanent accommodation at the posting location.
2.  If a member has a partnership recognised by the ADF elsewhere than the posting location, the CDF may grant a removal of personal effects to the posting location. These conditions apply.
    a.                                                                                                                                                                                         The member must have at least 12 months' service remaining at the posting location.
