Provide additional resourcing to help eliminate the claims backlog and continue providing increased support to veterans who are having claims processed.
The Government will provide $64.1 million in 2023-24 to provide additional resourcing to help eliminate the claims backlog and continue providing increased support to veterans who are having claims processed. This measure will respond to increased demand for downstream services, particularly in the Veteran Access Network, Complex Case Management, Account Processing, Information Access and Rehabilitation, Pharmacy and Health Approvals. This measure builds on the 2022-23 October Budget measures titled Investing in Frontline Service Delivery and Expanding the Demand Driven Funding Model. This measure supports the Australian Government Response to the Interim Report of the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide. Defence |
