Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia Australian Government Department of Veterans' Affairs Full time

DVA Reference: EXT-2025-0271

The Repatriation Medical Authority (RMA) function is to determine Statements of Principles (SOPs) for any disease, injury or death that could be related to military service, based on relevant sound medical-scientific evidence. The Authority plays no role in determining or considering individual claims. The RMA comprises a Chairperson and four other members who are eminent medical or scientific experts. RMA members work on a part-time basis and are appointed by the Minister for Veterans' Affairs for periods up to five years. The RMA is supported by a Brisbane-based Secretariat consisting of legal, administrative and research staff.

To be a strong contender for this appointment, you will need to be a registered medical practitioner or medical scientist with an outstanding academic record and extensive clinical or public health experience. We are particularly seeking members with expertise in psychiatry or musculoskeletal medicine and/or epidemiology. You will be acknowledged for your comprehensive understanding of psychiatry and epidemiology and for your medical-scientific leadership.

You will also have excellent representational and stakeholder management capabilities and be known for your intellectual rigour and high ethical standards. An understanding of the Australian Repatriation system and experience dealing with executive government and institutions will be well regarded.

We may also use applications received in this recruitment process to fill future RMA appointments.
