Overview
The Repatriation Medical Authority (RMA) function is to determine Statements of Principles (SOPs) for any disease, injury or death that could be related to military service, based on relevant sound medical-scientific evidence. The Authority plays no role in determining or considering individual claims. The RMA comprises a Chairperson and four other members who are eminent medical or scientific experts. RMA members work on a part-time basis and are appointed by the Minister for Veterans' Affairs for periods up to five years. The RMA is supported by a Brisbane-based Secretariat consisting of legal, administrative and research staff.
