Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This determination declares Australian Defence Force service on Operation Warden (East Timor) from 16 September 1999 to 10 April 2000 in East Timor and adjacent Indonesian territorial waters to be "warlike service." It revokes the earlier September 1999 determination.

That classification affects ADF personnel who served in that period by confirming entitlement to the more generous compensation, disability pensions and health care available for warlike service.
