We provide start-to-finish support for all things DVA so you never have to go it alone. Our specialists handle the entire claims process for you, providing peace of mind, regular updates and access to medical care while waiting. Reach out for expert assistance today.
An initial liability claim is the first step to receiving compensation, treatment and ongoing support. Our experts help you gather all medical and legal documents required by DVA to accept liability for your injury or illness.
Whether you're dealing with hearing loss, back injury, PTSD or other service-related conditions, we handle everything from the stringent eligibility checks to the complex forms so you get your full entitlements.
If your ability to work has been affected due to a service-related condition, we help you claim incapacity payments so you can focus on recovering or transitioning into suitable employment.
Our team helps to check your eligibility, apply for, and receive interim payments while your mental health claim is being assessed by DVA. This ensures you have access to financial support while waiting.
If you've received an unfavourable DVA decision, our team can assess your original submission and build a strong appeal case for the Veterans' Review Board and Administrative Review Tribunal.
Depending on the severity of your injuries, you may qualify for a DVA Gold or White Card that provides lifelong medical coverage. We guide you through the process to ensure you receive the appropriate support.
Do you have dependants who rely on you? You might qualify for an Eligible Young Person Payment as part of your DVA claim. If you're unsure, we're here to help.
If your condition has worsened since your last assessment, your DVA entitlements may no longer reflect your current needs. We’ve helped thousands of veterans review and update their entitlements, care requirements and daily living impacts.
Travelling to medical appointments shouldn’t create financial stress. We’ve helped thousands of veterans secure DVA entitlements, ensuring they have the right Veteran Card and approved support, so they can focus on their health and access to transport assistance.
Have you paid for medical treatment before your DVA card came through, or seen a provider who doesn't accept DVA? You may be eligible for reimbursement for those costs plus entitlements to help reduce financial stress.
When service-related injuries or illnesses make it difficult to manage everyday tasks at home, you may be entitled to DVA-funded support to help maintain your independence. We can provide expert assistance with your claims for household services under MRCA.
If you can’t afford the treatment you desperately need, we can help you with access to medical care while your claim is being processed with DVA.

If you're a veteran considering a DVA claim: don't go it alone. The expertise VFC provides is worth it.

Professional and caring, a great experience with all the members of the Veterans First team from start to finish. Highly recommend making contact.

Was very helpfull, they helped guide me through the confusing paper work and new the proccess well. I couldnt have done it with out them. Thank you to everyone in the VFC team.

Veterans First offered a great advocate experience. Good communication during the entire process and taking the stress and hassle out of arranging appointments.

I put off putting in my claims for a long time intimidated by the process doing it myself. I’m glad I made the decision to go with Veterans first. I have treatment plans for my conditions and a very generous payout thanks to the team.

The best firm to do PI claims specifically for defence members active or inactive.

Veterans First were extremely helpful in putting together my claim and dealt with DVA on my behalf. They kept me in the loop at all times throughout the whole process. Thanks to Fiona, Kim and the team at Veterans First. I highly recommend.

Great service, no fuss from a very professional team. I got all my DVA stuff sorted that I jad been putting off, with a great result.

Was recommend to me from friend, i found Very helpful and very experienced, i would recommend to others.

From the first phone call, they told me: "Personalised DVA claims. Done once. Done right." That stuck with me, and they backed it up the entire way through. They took something that could've been stressful and made it straightforward. And the result was nothing short of life changing. Highly recommended

Great service, great team. Provided good support throughout every step of the process.

VFC made the entire DVA process as simple and as stress free as you could ever want it. The consistent updates and explanation of what things mean took the uncertainty out of the process .They honestly hold clients interests as a priority.

Five stars still isn’t enough for Veterans First, so professional to deal with and made something so daunting and overwhelming a smooth and simple process. The outcome I got I don’t think I would’ve been able to get on my own.

I can’t recommend Veterans First Consulting highly enough. They submitted my claims to DVA and took care of organising all the required appointments. Their team was consistently supportive and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable.

My experience with Veterans First Consulting has been superb. Had I not made the initial call then I would still be suffering with medical issues. Their knowledge of and experience in dealing with DVA is second to none and without their assistance and guidance I would not be in the position that I am today.

I had the absolute pleasure of dealing with the team at Veteran’s First. They made the whole process a breeze with no stress at all. The team were all extremely helpful, friendly and professional. I’d highly recommend Veterans First to any Veteran thinking about going through with the DVA process.

The only reason I give Veterans First 5 stars is there isn't a higher option. They were incredible. They achieved an outcome I could not have gotten myself.Working with them was the best financial decision I have ever made. You don't need to deal with DVA directly. Well done team. From my family, thank you.

Leaving the ADF is very daunting, especially if it is due to medical matters. Veterans First consulting were there to support me from the very first phone call. I would have never been able to navigate through all the doctor’s appointments and discharge obligations without their help.

They walked me through the whole initial liability process and all conditions were accepted. During the permanent impairment stage, the Veterans First team were easy to talk to and I received maximum compensation. I was particularly impressed that when I asked to speak to the Director he called me within a few hours.
