I know for a fact that there are Aviation doctors that work on the bases.Sure its not called a DAME, but they are for flight crew and the JBAC's (or ATC as most of the world know them). All have to see their "AVMED" if they have more than 2 days off sick in a row.

The Aviation Doctors must check they medical fitness annually like any civilian aircrew. However, for defence it is more than just an annual review, it's for any medical issue that is more than a 24 hour bug.

The Military don't operate under CASA as such. The licences are not civilian issued, and while you say its duplication, they are their own organisation.

If CASA are struggling now, the last thing they need is for the entire ADF to be thrown into the mix.
