Common Questions From Adelaide Veterans

  • Yes. We coordinate assessments with qualified providers across all Adelaide regions, from Salisbury and Elizabeth in the north to Morphett Vale and Onkaparinga in the south. You don't need to travel to the CBD for appointments if providers in your area are more convenient.

  • No. We conduct all consultations virtually, which works particularly well for Adelaide veterans. You'll receive the same expert support whether you're in the CBD, the Adelaide Hills, or regional South Australia, without taking time away from work or family.

  • Current DVA data shows initial liability claims average 333 days to process. Working with us typically shortens this timeframe because we submit complete, well-documented claims that meet all DVA requirements from the start. We also stay in direct contact with DVA on your behalf and respond quickly to any requests.

  • Veterans First Consulting is an independent professional advocacy service. We are not part of, or affiliated with, the Department of Veterans' Affairs. We are a private company that helps veterans through the DVA claims process. For direct DVA enquiries, please visit dva.gov.au

  • We only get paid when your claim succeeds. Our fee is a percentage of your compensation, with no upfront costs. You'll know exactly what you'll pay before we begin, and if your claim isn't successful, you pay nothing.

  • We'll review the decision and advise you on your appeal options. With Adelaide's veteran community being South Australia's largest, we've handled hundreds of appeals for local veterans. We understand the VRB process and can represent you through every stage if needed.

  • You can start your DVA claim while still serving. We work with many current ADF members throughout Adelaide's defence establishments, helping you prepare your claim properly before transition. This means faster access to entitlements once you discharge.

    Can’t thank Veterans First Consulting enough for all the support and connecting all the dots for me. They took a lot of the burden off me from start to finish, processed everything timely and explained every process that needed to happen (and I had a lot of questions..). I have recommended their service to every close friend of mine who have acquired service related injuries and they too have been very impressed with the service. Thanks for all you do.
