Explanatory note

This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These regulations, which come into force on 5 March 2021, amend the Veterans’ Support Regulations 2014 (the principal regulations).

The regulations amend Schedule 1 of the principal regulations, which lists the Australian statements of principles that apply to specified medical conditions for the purposes of the Veterans’ Support Act 2014.

The amendments insert references to the Australian statements of principles for 2 new conditions. The new conditions are as follows:

  • coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19):

  • pure red cell aplasia (this has been split from aplastic anaemia as it is now considered a separate condition).

The amendments replace the names and references to the Australian statements of principles with new names and references for 2 conditions. The conditions with new names are as follows:

  • carotid arterial disease (now known as carotid artery disease):

  • retinal vascular occlusive disease (now known as retinal vascular occlusion).

The amendments also replace references to the Australian statements of principles with updated references for 7 conditions.

Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2012.
