Have you recently left the Australian Defence Force (ADF)?
To help you manage your health, take action to stay well, address health concerns and develop a relationship with your GP, you can access a fully funded Veteran Health Check through DVA.
The Veteran Health Check is a comprehensive health assessment completed by your GP that covers all aspects of your health and wellbeing, including your physical and mental health.
Veterans who have served at least one day in the ADF and transitioned out of the Defence Force since 1 July 2019 are eligible for an annual Veteran Health Check for the first five years following transition.
A one-off Veteran Health Check is available to all other ADF members who transitioned prior to 30 June 2019.
You can access this service through your DVA Veteran Card, at no cost to you.
Keep on top of your health and book in for a 45-minute appointment with a GP (just make sure they accept the DVA Veteran Card).
