What We Do

Offering comprehensive, compassionate and genuine care, Veterans Health Centre (VHC) is run by a trusted ex-Australian Defence Force (ADF) doctor and a team of trusted experts. Having an extensive background as defence force personnel and experience in navigating the complexities of the DVA, we are optimally positioned to support veterans.

Since our inception in 2019, our aim as a 100% ADF veteran-owned facility has been to become the premier Medicolegal and Healthcare Clinic for Australian Veterans and their families. We understand that there is so much more to providing veterans with healthcare than simply seeing a doctor.

Our team is here to facilitate a smooth, stress-free process while managing your health needs as a veteran and all the associated Department of Veterans Affairs’ (DVA) paperwork.

Chart Reviews

We will look through every page of your ADF UMR medical documentation and GP Notes. We see what IS there, and also what is NOT THERE, to find every diagnosed condition and every undiagnosed potential claim.

Permanent Impairment Assessments

Permanent Impairment Assessments are when you get your points and compensation. We provide the absolute highest standard in preparing for your Permanent Impairment Assessment.

DVA Claims

Using the information from the Chart Review, we complete the DVA diagnosis forms and assist you upload these to MyGov to have your Initial Liablity claims submitted into the system. This process previously took up to 3 years for DVA to get assessed with an Initial Liability Delegate, now they are turned around expediently. They now either result in acceptance or DVA will issue a Request for more information via Diagnostic Assessment.

Veterans Review Board Advocacy

DVA Claims for Initial Liability are often incorrectly rejected by the Department of Veterans Affairs. By appealing the incorrect decision, the Veterans Review Board and associated Outreach service will assess the appeal details and ideally change their decision. We will help provide the medical advice to assist in your appeal and have the correct outcome determined.

Diagnostic Assessments

Diagnostic Assessments are very important documents in the overall process. This document establishes funding to obtain Imaging to verify the existence of the claim and find ALL claims relevant to the Veteran. We conduct an appointment, obtain imaging, and write comprehensive reports to complete this very important stage.
