The Minister for Veterans' Affairs has provided the following answer to the honourable senator's question:

The Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) regularly compiles statistics which are made available on its website. As part of these it has provided Federal Electorate Profiles which are updated quarterly, i.e March, June, September, December, since at least 2005. The federal electorate boundaries are those current since the August 2010 Federal Election. These are available at www.dva.gov.au/​aboutDVA/​Statistics/​Pages/​Statistics.aspx
