      1               Definitions

      In this instrument:

                                  acquired cataract—see subsection 7(2).

                                  being overweight or obese means having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25 or greater.

Note: BMI is also defined in the Schedule 1 – Dictionary.

                                  being treated with a drug as specified means:
         (a)          for anterior subcapsular cataract only, receiving a cumulative dose of at least 1 500 grams of a phenothiazine; or
         (b)          receiving a cumulative dose of at least 400 grams of amiodarone; or
         (c)          receiving a cumulative dose of at least 30 grams of tamoxifen.

                                  being treated with an oral, topical or inhalational corticosteroid as specified means:
         (a)          applying a topical corticosteroid to the cornea of the affected eye equivalent to a cumulative dose of at least 200 drops of 0.1% dexamethasone; or
         (b)          applying a topical corticosteroid to the skin for a total of at least 730 days; or
         (c)          taking an oral corticosteroid equivalent to a cumulative dose of at least 900 milligrams of prednisone; or
         (d)          using an inhalational corticosteroid equivalent to a cumulative dose of at least 2 000 milligrams of budesonide.

                                  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.

                                  equivalent sunlight exposure in other latitude zones means the cumulative hours of sunlight exposure equivalent to that specified for a tropical area, calculated by multiplying the hours of exposure in each latitude zone by the latitude weighting factor for the zone as per the latitude weighting factor schedule and adding together the result for each zone:

                                  Latitude weighting factor
