Historical information
1988 marks more than just the Bicentennial if Australia, it also marks the first time returned servicewomen are entitled to full medical and hospital treatment under the repatriation system. Mary, who served in the Middle East recalls living under canvas in snowy conditions. Cate stated that so many people were rushing to return to their families after the war that they didn't mention half the things wrong with them and the paperwork was never done, so many didn't get the treatments they deserved.
