We owe a great debt to our service men and women. The quality of life we have in Australia is due to their actions and dedication.
My family has had connections with the military or health services for veterans for three generations. I have had the privilege of working with veterans and their families since 1995. Initially I worked in Darwin and through my role with the VVCS across northern Australia. From 2000 I have worked with SA based veterans and families. I am familiar with DVA, MCRS and some Department of Defence claims processes and eligibility requirements. I gratefully rely on ESO -RSL, VVA, VVF, EXMRC, etc. pension and welfare officers for their knowledge of the legislation and claims management intricacies!
For veterans with an accepted mental health condition, I provide therapy such as:
Anxiety and arousal management; Depression and mood management Alcohol management
Trauma focussed interventions - exposure therapy, EMDR
Anger and aggression management Relationship and communication building
Transition from military career to civilian living
For partners and family members of a veteran, I also provide a Medicare "bulk-billed" service where the person has been referred by their GP with a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan.
