The Coalition will put in place a ‘Discharge with Documentation’ policy across the Department of Defence and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. This proposal will replace the current system where defence force personnel can leave the Defence Forces without the necessary documents that they need to claim benefits from other government agencies, including the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. This policy will provide a more seamless transition for service men and women from the defence forces and increase the capacity and efficiency of the Department of Veterans’ Affairs in processing claims and serving veterans and their families.
