Given recent changes to the Tier classification system, after re-considering the information you previously provided and details of your service, we find that your F-111 fuel tank maintenance duties now satisfy the definition for Tier 3 classification.

You have met the new definition for Tier 3 classification because (REASONS FOR DECISION eg you are a person who was employed in F-111 fuel tank maintenance or other maintenance, or directly related tasks, prior to January 2000, where your work included physical entry to the fuel tank to conduct that maintenance or task).

Your service does not satisfy the definition for Tier 1 or Tier 2 classification because (PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION, eg. you did not exceed 9 working days on those tasks; you were not part of the formal programs/you did not work in one of the Tier 1 or Tier 2 work areas/etc).

Now that you have been granted a Tier 3 classification, you have access to the beneficial provisions of subsection 7(2) of the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 (SRCA). This provision allows you to access compensation for any of 31 conditions, (which are detailed at the end of this letter), without the need to establish a link to your service. If you have had a claim for compensation for any of these conditions rejected under the SRCA,  you claim will be reactivated and a member of the F-111 Compensation Team will contact you shortly.


Your Tier 3 classification also allows you to access counselling and interim health care treatment for specified conditions through the SHOAMP Health Care Scheme. Additionally, Tier 3 classification provides eligibility to access the Better Health Program, for cancer


screening and disease prevention.  Please call the health care team on 1800 728 007 if you have any questions or you would like to access these services.

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of this reconsideration, and your allocation of Tier 3 classification, you can apply to the Commonwealth Ombudsman on 1300 362 072, to examine your case. The Ombudsman can only consider how the decision was reached - the decision-making process undertaken and the information considered by DVA. The Ombudsman cannot review the decision itself.


If you have any other queries or concerns about your new Tier 3 classification, the F-111 team would be happy to take your call on 1800 555 323. You can also access more information on the website at  f111.dva.gov.au
