Who is eligible?
To be eligible for WAE(LL) Service personnel must get an assignment order to one of the eight sites with a report for duty date on or after 31 October 23, and before 11 March 24. In line with current policy, Service personnel will need to register their relationship status on JPA and have it verified by Unit HR.
How do I apply for WAE(LL)?
Eligible Service personnel can apply now using the E1132 form. Once submitted they will be entitled to Service Family Accommodation under the new WAE(LL) policy.
What happens if I am assigned to one of the eight sites and there is no Service Family Accommodation?
If Service Family Accommodation is unavailable, Substitute Service Family Accommodation in line with your entitlement will be sourced for you.
What are the eligibility criteria for an Established Long Term Relationship?
The evidence requirements and registration process for an established long-term relationship are defined at Paragraphs 0116 and 0117 in JSP 464, Vol.1 Part 1.
Defence would also like your views on being newly entitled to Service Family Accommodation.
If you are assigned to one of the selected sites and newly entitled to Service Family Accommodation because you are in an Established Long Term Relationship, we want to talk to you about your experience.
