So, how does this all work?
There's only 4 easy steps
Getting the compensation you deserve doesn’t need to be complicated. We’ve distilled the claims process into four straightforward steps.
Why should I lodge a claim?
It’s completely confidential

No win, no fee
If DVA doesn't offer you any compensation, you pay nothing — no hidden costs, no surprises.
Delaying your claim can cost you
Delaying your claim may reduce the compensation you're eligible for, as DVA takes age into account when determining your eligible amount.

Don’t delay your claim, secure your future today
It’s easy to think you have plenty of time to make your claim, but many don’t realise that delaying it can lead to missed opportunities for support and entitlements. By acting quickly, you can avoid several potential roadblocks:
Loss of medical evidence
The longer you wait, the harder it is to gather medical and service records.
Lower compensation
DVA’s age conversion factors mean younger veterans receive higher payouts.
Financial strain
Don’t make it more difficult for yourself; access the support you need to live the way you deserve.
Medical treatment delay
Early claims lead to quicker access to treatment, helping you recover sooner and avoid further setbacks.
By submitting your claim today, you protect your rights, access your compensation, and access the care and financial support you need to secure a better future. Don’t wait any longer, take the first step towards the benefits you’ve earned.

FAQs
We’ve gathered our most commonly asked questions here, so you can feel informed, at ease, and ready to take the next step toward the support and benefits you deserve.
Eligibility & Claims Process
Can I submit a DVA claim if I am still serving?
Yes, you can submit a DVA claim while still serving in the Australian Defence Force. In fact, DVA encourages current ADF members to lodge claims as soon as possible for any injuries, illnesses, or conditions sustained during service.
Who is eligible to make a DVA claim?
Any current or former Australian Defence Force member who has sustained an injury or illness related to their service may be eligible. Our team assesses each case individually and assists you with your initial liability and permanent impairment claim.
Can I still claim if my condition developed after I left the service?
Yes. Many service-related injuries and illnesses take time to emerge. Our team is experienced in identifying potential links between your current conditions and your ADF service, even if those conditions developed after your separation.
How long does the DVA claims process usually take?
Timeframes can vary depending on the complexity of your claim and DVA’s processing times. To support a timely outcome, it’s important to provide thorough documentation and respond promptly to any requests from DVA. While timeframes are largely influenced by DVA, VetComp aims to have your claim finalised within 12 months. Our DVA advocates can manage this process on your behalf to assist with speedy correspondence with DVA and medical providers.
Compensation & Evidence
How much compensation can I expect?
There is no guarantee that you will be eligible for any compensation from DVA. However, if you have a DVA-approved condition, DVA will take into account factors such as your age, the severity of your condition, your level of impairment, and how it impacts your daily life when calculating your compensation.
What kind of medical evidence do I need?
Medical reports, specialist assessments, and diagnostic tests are key to demonstrating the connection between your condition and your service. If you don’t already have this evidence, our team can help by connecting you with providers who are paid directly by DVA. So you won’t be out of pocket for any medical investigations related to your claim.
How is my information protected?
At VetComp, your privacy is our priority. We do not disclose any information about your DVA claims without your expressed consent. The DVA also operates under strict privacy legislation, and your personal information is protected under the DVA’s Privacy Policy. Any consultations with medical providers are governed by patient confidentiality laws, ensuring your medical details remain secure and private at all times.
This structure groups questions about who can claim and how the process works in the first category, and questions about what you might receive and what you need to provide in the second. Let me know if you’d prefer different categories or if you’d like to tweak any of the groupings.
