Govt. Addresses Vet Fee Gouging, Military Sexual Violence
Update: 2025-12-02
Description
The Australian Labor governments initiative to expedite veterans compensation claims has backfired, leading to unethical practices such as fee gouging and profiteering. To address this, the government plans to fund an industry body, requiring accreditation for advocates to charge fees. This move aims to protect veterans from exploitation. Meanwhile, a standalone inquiry into military sexual violence is set to begin, and a class action lawsuit by women alleging systemic sexual abuse in the military is heading to court. The government is working through the Royal Commissions recommendations, with only nine completed so far.
