In just two weeks, the biggest reform of Australia’s veteran support system in more than a century will take effect.

From 1 July 2026, the current complex compensation system will transition to a single framework under the enhanced Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act — a major step towards making support simpler, easier to access and more responsive to the needs of serving personnel, veterans and their families.

In an address to the The McKell Institute, Minister for Veterans' Affairs and Defence Personnel Matt Keogh confirmed that no veteran or family member will lose existing entitlements or experience any interruption to current payments as a result of the reforms.

Minister Keogh also announced the appointment of Brendan Cox as inaugural CEO of the new Veteran and Family Wellbeing Agency, which will commence operations on 1 July.

The changes are a key response to the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Su***de and reflect a broader shift towards prevention, early intervention, recovery and lifelong wellbeing for veterans and their families.

RSL NSW welcomes reforms that make it easier for veterans and families to access the right support, at the right time.

For 110 years, RSL Australia has stood beside those who have served. As these once-in-a-generation reforms are implemented, RSL NSW will continue working with Australian Government Department of Veterans' Affairs and the veteran sector to ensure no veteran or family is left behind.
