Legal Aid NSW statewide specialist service.
The Veterans' Advocacy Service (VAS) is a statewide specialist service of Legal Aid NSW.
We can help anyone who has ever served in the Australian Defence Force (ADF) including those who are still serving, and their dependants.
We give free independent advice about your rights and entitlements under the veterans’ entitlements legislation (Veterans’ Entitlements Act 1986, Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation (Defence-related Claims) Act 1988 and the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004). We also give advice on the merits of lodging claims and appeals and your chances of success, and can represent you in these matters at the Veterans’ Review Board, Administrative Review Tribunal and Federal Court.
We also provide assistance with claims for retrospective invalidity pensions with the Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation (CSC) and applications to the Commonwealth Ombudsman.
We also provide advice on a range of other legal issues in civil law, family law and crime.
