Salary Range:
$97,735 - $110,982 + Attractive SuperannuationThe Veterans' Review Board (VRB) is a specialist tribunal that delivers justice for veterans, current serving members and their families seeking to challenge decisions that affect their interests and, more broadly, we contribute to improving the quality of government decision-making.For over 100 years, veterans have had a right to an external appeal to seek review of decisions relating to entitlements and assessment of war pensions.
The VRB has existed in its current form since 1985.We are less formal than a court.
Where possible, we help veterans or their family members resolve their applications by talking through the issues at an 'outreach' with a Conference Registrar or at a conference with a Commission representative.
If an application cannot be resolved, our members will decide the case at a hearing.We can only hear cases where the law gives us this authority and the law that establishes the VRB and governs our operation is the Veterans Entitlement Act 1986 (the VEA).The types of decisions that we most commonly review relate to:Claims to accept liability or entitlement for a service injury, disease or deathApplications for increase in disability pensionCompensation for permanent impairment or incapacity for workClaims for war widow(er)'s or orphan's pensionLocation:
