– Cadets and Cadet Staff: Individuals who have been part of the Cadet program, whether as participants or instructors, are also eligible to make compensation claims.
– Australian Federal Police (AFP) with Overseas Service: Current or former members of the Australian Federal Police who have served overseas under approved conditions may also qualify for compensation benefits.
-Participants in British Nuclear Tests: Australians involved in British nuclear tests conducted within Australia may be entitled to compensation for any resulting injuries or illnesses.

Moreover, it’s essential to recognize that multiple entitlements may arise from the same injury, illness, or death, potentially falling under different schemes. This complexity is further compounded by the existence of Government ex gratia schemes, Commonwealth-funded superannuation policies, and personal insurance policies, all of which may offer additional avenues for compensation.
