Effects of this bill
If this bill passes, it means that:
The government cannot put cost limits on allied health treatment for people with military injuries or diseases. This means the government cannot stop, delay, or refuse treatment just because the cost has reached a certain amount.
People receiving allied health treatment for military injuries or diseases no longer have to pay a part of the cost themselves.
The government cannot demand extra evidence or a review of a person's case simply because their allied health treatment costs are getting high.
Compensation for allied health treatment cannot be capped at a set amount, though it is still limited to the actual cost of the treatment.
Allied health professionals now include a specific list of experts, such as psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and social workers.
