Dedicated Healthcare For DVA Patients

Our DVA healthcare services provide comprehensive, coordinated care for eligible veterans and their families holding a current Gold, White, or Orange DVA Card. We support the management of service-related injuries, chronic health conditions, and mental health concerns, while also providing ongoing general practice care, specialist and allied health referrals, and seamless coordination of your treatment under the DVA program.

DVA cardholders receive comprehensive, respectful healthcare at Merrimac Medical Centre — with no out-of-pocket cost for eligible services. Our GPs understand the unique health needs of the veteran population, including the prevalence of musculoskeletal injury, chronic pain, PTSD, and the complex interaction between physical and mental health conditions that can result from service. We handle DVA billing directly and coordinate care across the full range of services available under the scheme — from allied health and mental health through to specialist referral and chronic disease management. We want every veteran who comes through our doors to feel heard, valued, and well cared for.
