A message for all submariners, serving or ex.
From Ray Payne. Please note the following act was passed in the Senate today. Yet to be proclaimed after assent given by GG.
Veterans' Entitlement Act change occurred today in the Senate 21/06/18.
All Submariners Please Note the following:
Schedule 5 makes a provision to ensure that a submariner who served on a special submarine operation
between 1 July 1978 and 31 December 1992 is deemed to have operational service for any period they served on a
submarine during this period. This will simplify the support available to those individuals who served during this
period and who have a claim with the Department of Veterans' Affairs. We are also supportive of this measure
because it formally recognises the service that these individuals undertook during the period.
This will greatly assist all those submariners to get over the line now they can claim operational service which was previously denied because of the necessary
suppression of submarine positions while sea.
It can be found on page 36 of today's Senate Hansard
