新规则禁止服务年限不足5年的民主同盟军成员成为退伍军人服务处处长。 New rules bar ADF members with less than 5 years’ service from becoming Veterans' Service Chief.

根据退伍军人事务部发布的新准则,澳大利亚国防军最近的成员没有资格担任退伍军人服务处处长。 Recent members of the Australian Defence Force are ineligible for the position of Veterans' Service Chief, according to new guidelines issued by the Department of Veterans' Affairs. 该决定立即生效,排除了过去五年中在民主同盟军服役的个人对监督退伍军人支助服务的角色的考虑。 The decision, effective immediately, excludes individuals who served in the ADF within the past five years from consideration for the role, which oversees support services for veterans. 这一行动旨在确保领导经验和对老兵问题的长期理解,尽管它引起了一些服务成员的批评,他们认为它限制了年轻老兵的机会。 The move aims to ensure leadership experience and long-term understanding of veteran issues, though it has drawn criticism from some service members who argue it limits opportunities for younger veterans.
