For veterans and former ADF members

Support that doesn't stop when your Service does.

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.

Why veterans choose ADF Psychology

Understood, not re-explained.

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.

Accessing DVA-funded support

How eligible veterans access care.

01

DVA White or Gold Card holders

Eligible veterans may access psychology services through DVA arrangements — mention your card type and eligibility when you make contact.

02

Non-liability mental health care

Certain mental health conditions, including PTSD, anxiety and depression, may be accessible without needing a fully accepted DVA claim.

03

Self-funded or Medicare

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.

Common reasons veterans reach out

Life after Service brings its own demands.

PTSD & operational trauma

Symptoms that surfaced during Service, or emerged well after discharge.

Loss of identity or purpose

Adjusting to civilian life after a career built around rank, routine and mission.

Employment & relationship strain

Difficulty translating Service experience into civilian work and relationships.

Chronic pain & injury

Psychological strategies for living with service-related injury or persistent pain.

Anger & irritability

Managing reactions that made sense operationally but strain civilian relationships.

Isolation

Rebuilding connection and community outside the structure of a unit.

Support that understands where you've been.

Book a confidential appointment, or send an enquiry mentioning your DVA card type if applicable.
