Evening all
I’ve sent emails to the 6 nominated participants, text of the email is below for your visibility;
The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) is developing a Pilot to test a tri-Act Initial
Liability form. In preparation for the Pilot DVA will be convening a small group of Advocates
to provide feedback on the form. The session will be held early in the week beginning 7
September 2020 and is expected to take approximately 90 minutes. This will be a
facilitated session held via videoconference (Zoom) and information on the form and the
Pilot will be provided ahead of the discussion.
On the basis of your Advocacy experience you have been selected to participate in this
group.
I’d be grateful if you could advise if you will be available to participate by COB Monday 31
August 2020, via return email.
Emails have been sent individually and I’ll advise on Monday as I receive responses.
Cheers

Hi Don,
I hope you’re well!
As you may recall, we’re looking to pilot a tri-act Initial Liability form and we’re progressing well
with the design of the form and how the pilot will be run. We’re aiming to take this to the October
Commissions meeting, but we received a great suggestion recently to engage with some ESOs and
advocates on the design of the form. The goal is to get early advice and feedback about whether
the form will work for our end users ahead of commencing the pilot.
I know you’ve had a number of conversations about our forms in your travels, and I’m hoping you
can help us by nominating a few ESO’s/advocates you think might be good for us to meet with.
Subject to your availability, we’re hoping that you might be able to provide us with a few names
(maybe 5-10?) in the next couple of days. We’re hoping to meet virtually with these
ESOs/advocates next week if possible, so we can meet our target timeframe of the October
Commissions meeting.
As always, happy to discuss if you have any concerns or would like more information.

Dear ESORT secretariat
The working group being set up to discuss advocacy is not dealing with these sorts of issues. It is
dealing with the governance arrangements for the ATDP program and possible models for how
advocacy might operate.
I think the original tasking would still be CBD and CESS given s 47F
wants to raise is
“the complexities in dealing with Dual Eligible and Tri Eligible claims which can result in
a significant consequences for claimants who are ill-advised on these claims.”
I would be uncomfortable with a response going back to Peter saying the Advocacy Working
Group would consider issues around claim forms or claim processes, as this is beyond the remit
of a working group looking at advocacy models and governance.
Happy to discuss

Hi Kellie-Ann
Slightly in the dark here having not been in the ESORT discussion, but essentially I think the
working group will look to see how advocates and the Department can work best together in
terms of multi-act claims.
Mult-Act claims are currently claims which generally take much longer to do because they
require an experienced delegate to do well.
The advocates will be asked to contribute to discussions on processing issues and potentially any
policy issues, with a view that this may result in some recommendations for consideration by
either the Department or ESORT or both, depending on the nature of any recommendations.
The meetings are likely to be no longer than ½ day, three meetings likely, some preparation work
in terms of reading papers will be required. At this stage I am envisaging that the work should be
wrapped up within 6 months.
Kind regards Natasha

Good morning Kellie-Ann
Thank you for your email requesting nominations for experienced advocates to become
members of DVA’s Multi-Act claims working group.
We would like to circulate the information to all our advocates, however, anticipating a request
for further information about the scope of the project from them, is there any further
background we can provide to our people regarding this Multi-Act claims working group. It is
somewhat vague in what the advocates will be required to do, what the expected outcomes will
be, how long the process will take and the amount of time the advocates will need to devote to
the project.
I am sure our advocates would like the opportunity to participate and contribute to the project
but would also appreciate what is involved.
I look forward to your early reply so we can still meet the 19th January 2021 deadline.

Hello Kellie-Ann,
My erstwhile President, s 47F , has had a change of mind re his previous nomination of s 47F
nominee to participate on the Multi-Act
Claims Working Group. His email to you dated 6 January 2021 refers. s 47F is already nominated for the Advocacy Working Group.
Instead of s 47F
would like to nominate s 47F
as thes 47F representative to the Multi-Act Claims Working Group. The reason for his nomination
is that s 47F is not only a better fit for the task at hand but is Canberra based and could participate much more actively in discussions and/or deliberations.
He is highly qualified and massively experienced, having performed MRCA, VEA, SRCS/DRCA and Workers Compensation Advocacy work around Canberra for
the last 35 years. More recently he has concentrated his work to Advocating on behalf of younger veterans and those transitioning from the ADF.
s 47F Advocacy background is articulated in more detail in the attached. His contact details are as follows:

Terms of Reference – ESORT Multi-Act Claims Working Group
Background
The ESORT Multi-Act Claims Working Group is comprised of DVA staff and individuals representing member
organisations of the Ex Service Organisation Round Table which comprises one element of the National
Consultation Framework (NCF). The NCF is a comprehensive consultative structure designed to facilitate
communication between the veteran and ex-service community, the Repatriation and Military
Rehabilitation and Compensation Commissions, and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA). The
creation and operation of the ESORT Multi-Act Claims Working Group is consistent with the aims of the
NCF.
The legislation governing DVA’s compensation arrangements is complex and claims for compensation can
often cross two or three different Acts, adding a layer of complexity for Delegates, Advocates and Veterans.
This complexity has the potential to increase the time taken to process claims (TTTP), increase the number
of internal reviews and appeals related to the claim and adds to the departmental cost burden of training
and retaining delegates with the requisite knowledge to process such claims accurately and efficiently.
These factors are particularly relevant in an environment where DVA is experiencing unprecedented growth
in claim numbers. Currently up to 70% of contemporary claims may require consideration across multiple
Acts.
Objectives
The purpose of the ESORT Multi-Act Claims Working Group is to provide advice on particular issues and
difficulties presented by Multi-Act compensation claims and to make recommendations for improvements
in the claims processing and legislative landscapes that will ultimately result in the simplification and
enhancement of the compensation claims process for Veterans, Advocates and Delegates.
In summary, recommendations from the working group should identify opportunities for improvement in
DVA’s operational policy and the legislation governing such policy to promote quality and accountability in
service delivery. The overarching themes to be considered by the group in relation to Multi-Act claims
should be accuracy, consistency, increased understanding and higher degrees of user-friendliness with
regard to the submission and treatment of these claims.
Scope:
• Identify key “touch points” and bottlenecks in the claims process regarding the Processing of Multi-
Act claims
• Identify opportunities and make recommendations regarding the alignment of all claims submission
channels. Ultimately online claims lodgement mechanisms (in particular MyService) should mirror
paper based channels in content, appearance, intent and implication. Legal considerations (such as
validity of claims and authority to consider under different Acts etc.) should underpin
recommendations relating to this area.
• Explore the viability of claims allocation being undertaken on the basis of enlistment and discharge
dates, rather than based on a combination of claiming channel and Acts. Claims could be allocated
into three queues increasing in potential claims complexity,
i.
Claims lodged by veterans who enlisted on or after 1 July 2004. (Covered only under
MRCA). This queue could include simple claims that fall within ‘decision ready’ protocols
and more complex claims involving multiple conditions.
ii.
The second queue would be for those who discharged before 1 July 2004, with potential
dual eligibility under the VEA and the DRCA.
1 of 4
iii.
The third queue would be for those claimants with service that spans 1 July 2004, who have
possible coverage under three Acts.
• Provide advice from an advocate and delegate perspective on the adequacy of guidance material
regarding MRCA transitional provisions. Make specific recommendations for improvements where
appropriate.
Chair
The Chair of the ESORT Multi-Act Claims Working Group will be Clients’ benefits division First Assistant

Hello Kellie-Ann,
My erstwhile Presidents 47F , has had a change of mind re his previous nomination o s 47F
nominee to participate on the Multi-Act
Claims Working Group. His email to you dated 6 January 2021 referss 47F is already nominated for the Advocacy Working Group.
Instead of s 47F would like to nominate s 47F
as the s 47F representative to the Multi-Act Claims Working Group. The reason for his nomination
is that s 47F is not only a better fit for the task at hand but is Canberra based and could participate much more actively in discussions and/or deliberations.
He is highly qualified and massively experienced, having performed MRCA, VEA, SRCS/DRCA and Workers Compensation Advocacy work around Canberra for
the last 35 years. More recently he has concentrated his work to Advocating on behalf of younger veterans and those transitioning from the ADF.
s 47F Advocacy background is articulated in more detail in the attached. His contact details are as follows:

Dear Kellie-Ann,
I have received four nominations from senior Advocates who have had between 10 to 23 years
practical experience with claims under the current three Acts, and Multi-Act claims, and have a
very good understanding of the processing and problems associated with Multi-Act claims
specifically.
Through their many years of experiences they are all well qualified and capable of providing
positive comments and suggestions/recommendations as to how advocates and the Department
cand best work together in respect of multi-act claims, and taking part and contributing
positively in any discussions on processing, or any potential policy issues.
I have listed their names hereunder, with some details of their Advocacy experiences. I have
listed them in s 47F
order of preference:
s 47F, s 47G
We believe that any one or more of those of the Advocates mentioned could (should) be
selected to participate in the Working Group and would, in light of their experiences, provide
well informed comments/suggestions on the subject issue. We leave the ultimate decision in
your hands as to whom you consider is the most appropriate person to participate in the
Working Group as a representative of the s 47F Their input, we believe would most certainly be
beneficial to the formation of appropriate recommendations that will no doubt define/refine the
processes for determination of multi-Act claims to the benefit of DVA and the Veterans’
community generally.
