This disclosure comprises internal Defence documents from a 2016 Wounded, Injured and Ill Digger Forum (WIIDF) held in Canberra, including a decision brief to the Chief of Defence Force, an implementation minute, and participant feedback. The forum, themed "Rehabilitation and Return to Work," identified three priority improvement areas: continuity of care (medical and unit domains), meaningful engagement and employment during rehabilitation, and the medical waiver system. Similar issues were noted at previous forums. Documents show the Post Activity Report was forwarded to stakeholders for action, with responsibility areas allocated across Defence commands for 2017 implementation. Substantial portions are redacted under section 47E (personal information of veterans and support persons) and section 22 (internal deliberations). The Chief of Defence Force's decision on endorsement and distribution is not visible in the excerpt provided.
