All legislative instruments that are registered must be presented for scrutiny in each House of the Parliament and, unless an exemption applies, they may be disallowed by either House. When documents are presented to the Australian Parliament for scrutiny, they are said to have been tabled.
This instrument is also taken to be made under the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation (Defence-related Claims) Act 1988 (the DRCA), by virtue of transitional provisions in the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Legislation Amendment (Defence Force) Act 2017. The Minster for Veterans’ Affairs is responsible for administering the DRCA.
