DAF updates COVID-19 reinstatement process, reduces time for members returning to service

The Defence Aviation Maintenance Organisation (DAF) is actively working to expedite the return of personnel previously impacted by COVID-19 related restrictions. A key change involves implementing a dual-track system for reinstatements, concurrently managing both medical screenings and corrections within military records. This new approach utilizes specialized reinstatement case managers to guide affected individuals through each stage of the process. The DAF reports that this revised procedure significantly reduces the overall time required for members to resume their duties. Currently, the specific timeframe reduction remains undisclosed but represents a substantial improvement in operational efficiency.
