    DISCLAIMER NOTICE

    VETCOMP PTY LTD - ABN: 89 672 316 371

    (1) No Guarantee of Outcomes:

    VetComp Pty Ltd does not and cannot guarantee the outcome of any claim submitted to the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA). All decisions regarding compensation, benefits, and entitlements are made solely by DVA, based on legislative criteria and the medical and supporting evidence provided. While we make every effort to support our clients with thorough documentation and advocacy, VetComp has no influence over DVA’s decision-making processes. The success of any claim is contingent upon DVA’s independent assessment and determination.

    (2) Independent Service:

    VetComp Pty Ltd is a private, fee-for-service advocacy service and is not affiliated with the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA), the Commonwealth Government, or any other government agency. While we assist veterans in navigating DVA claims processes, we operate independently and do not represent DVA. For information about entitlements or official processes, veterans can contact DVA directly via www.dva.gov.au or 1800 VETERAN (1800 838 372).

    (3) Service:

    VetComp Pty Ltd does not provide legal, medical, or financial advice. Any information provided by our team is general in nature, and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional advice. Clients are encouraged to seek independent professional advice – such as, but not limited to, guidance from qualified medical practitioners, financial advisors, or legal professionals – particularly in matters involving diagnoses, treatment decisions, legal considerations, or financial planning.

    (4) Fee For Service:

    VetComp Pty Ltd is a private, fee-for-service advocacy organisation. We charge a percentage base fee (+GST) which is outlined within our proposal of the total lump sum compensation awarded by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA). This fee only applies when a claim is successful, and there are no upfront costs. We acknowledge that there are other advocacy services available to veterans, such as those provided by RSL sub-branches and Ex-Service Organisations (ESOs). These services may submit claims at no cost to the veteran. VetComp’s structured fee model enables us to offer sustained, attentive, and outcome-focused support, allowing our team to remain actively engaged in complex cases and provide tailored guidance throughout your claim process.

    (5) Dataset:

    Calculated on most recent 150 determinations, calculated during Q1 2025. VetComp does not guarantee any outcomes, each claim is assessed by DVA. Passed performance is not an indicator of future outcomes. Statistics shared publicly are a reflection of the dataset below. All dollar amounts are calculated in AUD. This data is intended to illustrate the range and structure of successful claim outcomes VetComp has supported. However, all claims are unique, and compensation depends on DVA’s independent assessment. We do not claim these outcomes are typical or guaranteed. Client names have been redacted for privacy. If you are a regulator and require further information surrounding the accuracy of this information, please contact info@vetcomp.com, our team will provide you further supporting information at your request.

    (7) Claim Calculator Tool:

    This tool is provided by VetComp Pty Ltd to help veterans gain a general understanding of their maximum compensation under the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004 (Cth) (MRCA). It is intended solely for informational purposes and should not be considered an official assessment or relied upon for making claims with the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA). The calculations presented are estimates of the maximum compensation that may apply in your circumstances. They are not definitive and may differ based on your specific case, including factors such as medical evidence, personal circumstances, and the DVA’s interpretation of legislation. By using this tool, you acknowledge that VetComp Pty Ltd cannot influence or alter any decisions made by the DVA regarding your compensation. Official DVA assessments consider detailed medical records, specialist reports, and individual conditions. This tool does not account for these factors and instead provides a general estimate based on simplified assumptions. DVA decisions regarding permanent impairment compensation are guided by legislation, including the MRCA and the Guide to Determining Impairment and Compensation (GARP M). This tool may not reflect recent updates to legislation or policies that could impact compensation outcomes. VetComp Pty Ltd does not guarantee that this tool reflects the latest legislative changes, policies, or guidelines.

Users should consult qualified professionals or the DVA for guidance specific to their circumstances. VetComp Pty Ltd is an independent entity and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
