Exposure to Agent Orange has been listed on a death certificate as a contributing cause of death for what is believed to be the first time.
Pat Hauwai, 65, died on 24 September, a month after being diagnosed with lung cancer.
The death certificate says Mr Hauwai died from carcinoma of the lungs, because of cigarette smoking and exposure to Agent Orange.
The Ex-Vietnam Services Association says it does not know of any other cases where the toxin has been listed on a death certificate.
National president Terry Culley says Mr Hauwai's case might encourage more doctors to list Agent Orange as a cause of death. He says compensation varies between $20,000 to $40,000.
Minister for Veteran's Affairs Rick Barker says a centre is being established to help doctors dealing with patients suffering from exposure to Agent Orange.
Mr Barker says the process is expected to take several months.

The result...denials based on a false premise.
