Decision makers in the Australian Defence Force must be open to persuasion. They cannot approach a decision with a closed mind or a predetermined outcome. We assist members when it is most needed by providing responses to administrative actions, which include:

• Notice to Show Cause: Formal warning;
• Notice to Show Cause: Censure;
• Notice to Show Cause: Termination; and
• Notice to Show Cause: Positive Test Result;
• Redress of Grievance;
• Response to Fact Finds;
• Complaints seeking compensation due to Defective Administration;
• Office of the Inspector-General of the Australian Defence Force adverse findings; and
• Complaints to the Commonwealth Ombudsman and Inspector-General: Australian Defence Force.

Should the Australian Defence Force provide an adverse finding following a response with respect to each of the above administration actions, it may be possible to seek review through a Redress of Grievance. Should you be, or have already been, subject to an adverse finding, please contact Soldier’s Legal Counsel to discuss how we can assist.
