It is important to us that you can fully participate in the review and present your case.
Our processes are informal, cost-free and user-friendly.
You have the right to be represented throughout the review process. However, lawyers cannot appear at our hearings. Many Ex Service Organisations and the Legal Aid Commissions in some states provide advocates who are free of charge. You can ask our registry staff to help you find a representative.
If you choose an advocate or representative that charges a fee, we cannot pay or reimburse these costs. Similarly, DVA also cannot pay any expenses your representative may charge.
