A member is entitled to be provided with treatment under this Part for a service injury or disease of the member if:

(a) the Commission has accepted liability for the injury or disease; and

(b) the member is entitled to medical and dental treatment under regulation 58F of the Defence Force Regulations 1952 ; and

(c) a claim for compensation in respect of the member has been made under section 319; and

(d) the Commission, after considering any advice from the member's service chief, determines that it is more appropriate to provide treatment for the injury or disease under this Part than to provide such treatment under regulation 58F.

Note 1: Compensation might be payable in respect of treatment obtained before the Commission determines that the person is entitled to treatment (see section 273).

Note 2: A person is not entitled to treatment for an aggravated injury or disease if the aggravation ceases (see section 283).
