How we make decisions

We use a number of tools and processes to make decisions. This helps ensure each decision we make is fair and treats our clients consistently.​

We make decisions based on the information you:

  • give us
  • allow us to access.

Sometimes we may need to confirm this information with others. We do this by checking service records or information held by health professionals and other agencies.

Each decision will be considered by at least one member of the Veterans' Affairs team. In complex situations, it may need to be escalated to a senior member, team leader or manager.
