How we can help

If you are a current or former serving member of the Australian defence force, you may be eligible for pensions or benefits from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA). These benefits may also apply if you are the spouse, widow, or child of an eligible DVA member or veteran.

What are the benefits of DVA allied health services?

Our mutli-disciplinary approach to care means we can provide highly effective treatment for anyone who is suffering from the physical afflictions associated with ageing and working. The services that we provide to our DVA clients include treatment to help with musculoskeletal pain as well as a range of other physical ailments. We can provide treatment for people suffering from:

Chronic

Arthritis

Surgery

We are also here to provide therapeutic support and treatment for people who are going to undergo surgical treatment. Pre- and post-rehabilitation care is a critical part of your overall recovery, and with DVA physiotherapy you can ensure that you move through your surgical recovery smoothly. The benefits of working with Health First Group also extend beyond the physical; we have worked with numerous DVA patients who are living with mental health conditions and who have seen a benefit to their overall wellbeing through effective physiotherapy treatment.
