Permanent Impairment assessments - Yes.

Diagnostic / Initial liability Assessments - No (I have recommendations of where you can get these done).

Can you do refer me to a Psychiatrist for an assessment?

Not under the scope of this business, however I can recommend Psychiatrists who do DVA assessments without needing a GP referral. Please enquire within.

Can you help with an appeal?

Yes - If DVA have sent you a medical assessment as part of an appeal process.

No - If you are looking to lodge a new appeal. Appeals and challenges come under the administrative side of the DVA process. For this, I recommend speaking to DVA directly, or engaging in the services of an advocate.

I am not Canberra based, can you still help?

Yes, I can do telehealth video appointments for most assessments.

Can you do telehealth appointments for veterans residing overseas?

Yes.

Is this an advocacy service?

Can you also treat my injuries?

Treatment of conditions is outside the scope of this non-clinical, medico-legal business.

Are you partnered with any other service provider?

I am not in any arrangement with any other service provider. I work completely independently. If I recommend a service, it is purely as I believe it is in the best interest of the veteran, for their needs.
