Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Determination treats Annex 16.B of the Defence Determination as if it were in force for members who served in Greece or Romania from 12 August 2020 until this instrument commenced, so those members become eligible for the Defence location allowance; it also repeals a prior transitional schedule. Department of Defence (payroll) funds any retroactive payments; the Acting Assistant Secretary made the change under s58B of the Defence Act. It matters because it creates retrospective pay entitlements and requires payroll and administrative adjustments.
