Support for Current Serving Defence Personnel
In addition to supporting veterans, we work with active-serving members of the Australian Defence Force, including personnel from the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
We understand the unique pressures associated with military service, including operational demands, high-performance environments, deployments, leadership responsibilities, and life transitions.

Your DVA/Veterans Therapy FAQs Answered
What types of psychological treatments do you offer?
Our psychologists draw on a range of evidence-based therapies, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), trauma-focused therapies, mindfulness-based approaches, and other strategies designed to support mental health and well-being. Your psychologist will work with you to develop a tailored treatment plan.
Do I need a referral to see a veteran’s psychologist?
Referral requirements may vary depending on how your appointments are funded. All DVA cardholders, for example, need a valid referral. Our team can explain the options available and help determine the most appropriate pathway for your circumstances.
Can family members of veterans or active serving defence personnel access support?
Yes. Military service can affect not only the people who serve but also their loved ones. We welcome enquiries from partners, spouses, family members, and carers seeking psychological support for their own well-being or assistance in navigating challenges of military life.
