Common Questions From Gold Coast Veterans

  • Yes. We work with a network of local medical providers throughout the Gold Coast who understand DVA assessment requirements. We'll connect you with doctors in your area who can conduct thorough assessments that meet DVA's standards, whether you're in Southport, Currumbin, or surrounding suburbs.

  • Absolutely. We support veterans throughout the Gold Coast region and Northern NSW border areas, including Tweed Heads and surrounding communities. Our virtual consultation model means you get the same expert service regardless of your exact location.

  • Current processing times for MRCA initial liability claims average around 11 months, though this varies based on your claim's complexity and the number of conditions you're claiming. Complex claims requiring multiple medical assessments typically take longer. We stay in contact with DVA throughout your claim and keep you updated on progress.

  • 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 regularly work with current serving members who are planning their transition. Starting your claim preparation before discharge means we can gather evidence while it's fresh and help you access treatment and compensation sooner after you leave service. Virtual consultations make this easy regardless of your posting location.

  • We help you understand why the claim was rejected and assess your appeal options. If the rejection was due to insufficient evidence, we can help you gather additional medical documentation and resubmit. If you have grounds for appeal, we'll guide you through the Veterans' Review Board process within the required timeframes.

  • We work on a no-win, no-fee basis for permanent impairment claims. You only pay our fee if your claim succeeds and you receive compensation. Our fee is a percentage of your lump sum payment, and we're completely transparent about costs from our first conversation. There are no upfront charges or hidden fees.

    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.
