On 12 October 2011, Defence (Employer Support Payments) Amendment Determination 2011 (No.1) was signed by the Parliamentary Secretary Defence, Senator Feeney. This Amendment Determination inserted a new provision relating to death on Defence service. The Amendment was taken to have commenced on 1 September 2011.
