ADF Medical Discharge: Understanding the Process and Support Available

When a member is medically unable to continue serving due to injury or illness, he or she is discharged from the ADF.
Medical assessments, determining Medical Employment Classification (MEC), probable ADF Medical Board referral, notification, appeal options, and discharge with transition support are all part of the process.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA), Open Arms — Veterans and Families Counselling, Soldier On, Mates4Mates, AusVeterans, and RSL Australia provide assistance and resources to ex-ADF members.

These organisations offer a variety of services, including compensation and rehabilitation help, mental health services, job placement assistance, and social activities.
Understanding the discharge process and utilising available services can help ex-ADF troops and their families adapt to civilian life.

In this post, we will look at the ADF’s medical discharge process and the different options and support networks that are available to ex-ADF members who have been medically discharged due to injury or sickness.
