Team of Experts
We assist current and former Tasmanian veterans with DVA claims from start to finish. Our consultations and services are all provided online at your convenience so there is no need to visit an office.
Whether you're in the Hobart CBD, Launceston, Devonport, Burnie, or anywhere across Tasmania, we provide comprehensive support via phone and online consultations. Distance doesn't limit your access to professional DVA claims assistance.
After years of supporting Tasmania's Defence community, we know which local providers produce thorough, accurate assessments that meet DVA requirements. We work with reliable medical providers across the state to progress your claim.
Our established relationships with providers in Tasmania help ensure timely appointment scheduling with those familiar with Defence personnel. This saves you time and ensures your claim is properly prepared in line with DVA regulations from the very start.
You won't spend hours chasing updates or trying to decipher confusing emails. Our team manages every interaction with DVA, keeping you informed without the frustration.
From gathering your service records to submitting permanent impairment assessments, we manage the entire process. You'll have a point of contact who understands your claim inside and out.
We’ve assisted thousands of veterans through the DVA claims process, providing them with informed, structured support and care.
Our team includes many ex-DVA staff who understand the system totally, giving us unique insights into how claims are assessed and what evidence DVA requires.
No upfront payment is required to get started. We explain our fee structure clearly during your initial consultation, so you understand costs before deciding to proceed.
We help you submit a well-prepared claim with complete documentation, reducing avoidable follow-ups and delays during the DVA process.
We manage every aspect of your claim, gathering evidence, coordinating with local medical providers, arranging appointments, and handling all DVA communication.
One of our core commitments is clear, regular communication so you always know what’s next, and that your case is being looked after every step of the way.

Yes. We coordinate assessments with qualified providers across Hobart, Launceston and regional areas of Tasmania. 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 veterans in Tasmania. You'll receive the same expert support whether you're in Hobart, Launceston or regional areas of Tasmania, without taking time away from work or family.
Current DVA data shows initial liability claims can take around 12 months to process, and permanent impairment claims can take an additional 12 months or more, particularly where further information or clarification is needed. Our role is to help you lodge a complete, well-documented claim that meets DVA requirements from the outset. This may help reduce avoidable back-and-forth and support a smoother claims process. We also stay in contact with DVA on your behalf and respond promptly to any requests for information.
We offer a free initial consultation so you can understand whether our services are right for you. If you decide to proceed, we’ll provide a written costs agreement that clearly explains how our professional fees are calculated and when they are payable. We go through this with you in plain language before any work begins, so you can make an informed decision about engaging our services.
