ADF PsychologyServing & Veteran Members
ADF Psychology is a veteran-owned practice supporting former Defence personnel — including those medically discharged, time-expired, or years into civilian life — with the same understanding of Service culture that shapes support for those still serving.
Many veterans have spent years explaining Defence culture, rank structures and operational context to civilian clinicians before the real conversation can start. That step isn't necessary here.
Led by a former infantry reservist who understands Defence culture and the transition out of it.
Experience working within DVA referral arrangements and non-liability mental health provisions.
Whether you left Service last year or decades ago, service-related issues remain valid to bring to a session.
Appointments available wherever you're now living, regional or metro.
Eligible veterans may access psychology services through DVA arrangements — mention your card type and eligibility when you make contact.
Certain mental health conditions, including PTSD, anxiety and depression, may be accessible without needing a fully accepted DVA claim.
Veterans without DVA eligibility can still access support privately or via a GP mental health care plan.
DVA eligibility and referral requirements vary by individual circumstances. Contact ADF Psychology directly and eligibility can be confirmed before your first appointment.
