Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This order declares service in Operation Faber (East Timor and adjacent Indonesian waters) from 19 June to 15 September 1999 as "non‑warlike service" for Australian Defence Force members.

That classification makes affected personnel eligible for enhanced veterans' entitlements—including disability pensions and medical treatment under the Veterans' Entitlements Act—recognizing the risks of early stabilization and evacuation operations without treating them as formal combat.
