The main function of the Repatriation Medical Authority (RMA) is to determine Statements of Principles (SOPs) based on relevant sound medical-scientific evidence. The Authority plays no role in determining or considering individual claims. The RMA comprises a Chairperson and four other members who are eminent medical or scientific experts.  Authority members work on a part-time basis and are appointed by the Minister for Veterans’ Affairs for periods of up to five years.  The RMA is supported by a Brisbane-based Secretariat consisting of legal, administrative and research staff.

Chairperson

As Chairperson you will be responsible for the overall governance, leadership and medical-scientific reputation of the Authority. You will report annually to the Parliament on behalf of the Authority and work closely with the Minister for Veterans’ Affairs, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, the Repatriation Commission, the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Commission, Ex-Service Organisations and the wider Service community. Working closely with the other Authority Members, you will ensure that strong procedural arrangements are in place to support the deliberations of the Authority. You will also represent the RMA in a range of professional and other forums.
