A person is eligible to be provided with treatment under this Act if the person is an Australian surgical‑medical team member and an Australian resident. However, a person is not eligible under this Act if the person is eligible for treatment under certain other treatment schemes.

A person must make a claim to establish their eligibility for treatment. The Commission determines claims and must give claimants written notice of the Commission’s determination.

The Commission arranges for the provision of treatment for eligible persons.

Generally, treatment is arranged by the Commission if it is approved by the Commission, provided in accordance with arrangements made by the Commission and provided in certain circumstances and in accordance with certain conditions.
