Female-specific health conditions — from reproductive injuries to trauma caused by sexual violence — are often overlooked or inadequately addressed in DVA policies and the SoPs.
One of the biggest concerns when submitting a claim is how long it takes. Delays can lead to financial strain, affect access to treatment, and add stress for veterans and their families. While DVA has worked to shorten wait times, there are still a number of things that can hold up a claim.
Tinnitus is one of the most commonly reported conditions among Australian Defence Force (ADF) veterans. Given its high prevalence among ADF members, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) provides compensation for those whose tinnitus is linked to their military service.
For veterans, current service members and their families, accessing entitlements and support can sometimes be a complex process. When decisions made by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) don’t reflect their needs or circumstances, the Veterans’ Review Board (VRB) offers a way to appeal.
Many veterans experience lasting impacts from their service, including PTSD, depression, anxiety and adjustment disorders. Access to consistent psychological support plays an important part in managing these challenges.
Many veterans know the DVA provides financial support for service-related injuries, but few realise their full entitlements.
