How We Support Hobart Veterans
-
We Handle All DVA Communication on Your Behalf
Once you engage us, you won't need to chase the DVA for updates or respond to complex requests alone. We manage every interaction, keeping you informed without the stress of navigating bureaucracy yourself.
-
Our Team Coordinates With Local Medical Providers for Assessments
We work with experienced medical professionals across Hobart, Glenorchy, Kingston, and near Anglesea Barracks who understand DVA's assessment requirements. This means your reports are completed properly the first time, preventing delays that occur when providers aren't familiar with DVA standards.
-
Virtual Consultations Available for All Hobart and Surrounding Areas
Whether you're in 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.
-
We Know Which Local Providers Work Best With DVA Claims
After years of supporting Tasmanian veterans, we've built relationships with medical professionals who provide timely, thorough assessments that meet DVA's standards. This local knowledge prevents the common delays that occur when working with unfamiliar providers.
-
Complete Claims Management From Lodgement to Determination
From your first consultation through to final determination and needs assessment, we manage every step of your claim. You receive expert guidance throughout the entire process, typically taking 6-9 months for permanent impairment claims when lodged correctly.

Common Questions From Hobart Veterans
-
We support veterans throughout Tasmania, including regional and remote areas. Our virtual consultation model means you receive the same professional service whether you're in Hobart, Launceston, the North West Coast, or anywhere across the state. Distance has never been a barrier to quality DVA claims assistance.
-
Yes, if your GP is familiar with DVA assessment requirements. However, many GPs haven't completed DVA assessments before, which can lead to incomplete reports and claim delays. We'll assess whether your current GP is suitable or recommend experienced providers who understand exactly what DVA requires for successful claims.
-
Most of our process is conducted remotely via phone and video consultations. When medical assessments are required, we connect you with appropriate providers in your area - whether that's Hobart, Launceston, or closer to your location. You won't need to travel long distances for our services.
-
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 operate on a no-win, no-fee basis. You pay nothing upfront, and our fee only applies if your claim succeeds. There are no additional charges for Tasmania-based veterans - everyone receives the same transparent fee structure regardless of location. We'll explain all costs clearly during your initial consultation.
-
Processing times don't vary by location - your claim goes to the national DVA system regardless of where you live. For claims received and determined within the last 12 months, initial liability claims average 97-110 days, while permanent impairment claims typically take 6-9 months. Complete, well-documented claims submitted through professionals like our team process faster than incomplete submissions.
-
RSL Tasmania and VeteranHub provide valuable community support and basic claims lodgement assistance. We're professional DVA claims specialists who manage complex permanent impairment claims, coordinate medical assessments, handle all DVA communication, and work to maximise your entitlements. We charge a fee only on successful claims because our service delivers results that free services often can't achieve due to resource limitations and lack of specialisation.

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.

Veterans First Consulting did an amazing job and I am very happy with the result. They always kept m informed of how my claim progressed and they were highly organised. I have recommended them to other friends who have had similar injuries and time in service as myself and my own siblings who both serve, I highly recommend them, particularly if you DVA claim has stalled in the past, they get it back on track for you.

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the team at Veterans First for the incredible support you’ve provided throughout my claims process. Not only have the team achieved a life-changing result for me, but also for my wife and our two young boys. You turned what I initially viewed as a daunting challenge into a smooth and manageable journey. I am truly grateful for all your hard work and dedication in representing me this year. I cannot recommend your services highly enough to other veterans seeking assistance.
