Pensions

We have a strong qualified pension team on hand, for all young and old diggers, as well as any veterans serving or not serving. The team will investigate all entitlements available to you as well as assist you to complete the paperwork that is necessary to be submitted to gain those entitlements.

As well as this, they are here to assist you with medical appointments and follow your claim through to the end result. If it is necessary to engage an advocate for the purpose of a review of the decision, this service is provided by our head office in Granville.
