After years of supporting Sydney's Defence community, we know which local providers produce thorough, accurate assessments that meet DVA requirements. We work with reliable medical providers across NSW to progress your claim.

Contact us so we can help.
Yes. We coordinate assessments with qualified providers across all Sydney regions, including Holsworthy Barracks, Victoria Barracks, Western Sydney and the greater metropolitan area. You don't need to travel to the CBD for appointments if providers in your area are more convenient.
Yes. We help Brisbane veterans with DVA appeals and reviews. If your claim was declined due to insufficient evidence or procedural issues, we can review the decision with you, gather any additional required documentation, and guide you through the review process in line with DVA requirements. The appeals process has strict timeframes, so contact us as soon as possible after receiving a rejection.
No. We conduct all consultations virtually, which works particularly well for Sydney veterans. You'll receive the same expert support whether you're in the CBD, the southern or northern suburbs, or regional NSW, 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.
