Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2015-06-25.
The bill creates a new death and invalidity insurance scheme, called ADF Cover, for Australian Defence Force members from 1 July 2016.
ADF Cover would be a statutory scheme funded from the Consolidated Revenue, with no contributions from members or the Defence Force.
The explanatory memorandum states the scheme is designed to match the death and invalidity benefits of the current Military Superannuation and Benefits Scheme.
- Establishes the Australian Defence Force Cover Scheme.
- Provides death and invalidity cover for ADF Super members and certain members who choose another fund.
- Funds benefits from the Consolidated Revenue through a specific appropriation.
People joining the Australian Defence Force on and after 1 July 2016, and those who could have been ADF Super members but chose a different fund.
