Common Questions From Darwin Veterans

  • Absolutely. We provide virtual consultations for veterans across the entire Northern Territory, from Darwin and Palmerston to Katherine, Alice Springs, Nhulunbuy, and remote communities. Our service isn't limited by location; we've helped veterans in some of Australia's most remote areas secure their DVA entitlements.

  • Processing times are the same regardless of location; DVA handles all claims centrally. What matters is how well your claim is prepared. We make sure your documentation is complete and accurate from day one, which reduces delays. Most claims take 18-24 months, though complex cases can take longer.

  • No. We operate on a success-only fee basis; you only pay if we successfully secure your compensation. There are no upfront costs, and our fee is a percentage of your lump sum entitlement (not your ongoing payments). We'll explain the exact fee structure during your initial consultation.

  • 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

  • Yes, we support all current and ex-serving ADF members throughout the Northern Territory, including those at Robertson Barracks, RAAF Base Darwin, and RAAF Base Tindal. Whether you're still serving or have already transitioned, we can help with your DVA claims from wherever you're located across the NT.

  • We maintain relationships with medical professionals across Darwin, Palmerston, and Katherine who have experience with DVA assessments. We'll connect you with providers who understand service-related conditions and can produce the documentation DVA requires. You won't waste time searching for practitioners yourself.

  • You can start your claim while still serving. Many veterans from the 1st Brigade begin the process before discharge to receive compensation sooner after transition. We'll work around your posting schedule and operational commitments to build your claim properly from the start.

    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.
