Defence with Fortitude ~
While illness and healthcare challenges can affect anyone, former and serving members of the Australian Defence Force often face health considerations that are unique to military service. In fact, recognising and addressing those specific needs is the very reason Fortitude Health Group was established. Our team has specialist knowledge and experience in veteran healthcare, allowing us to provide informed, personalised support tailored to the unique experiences of ADF members and veterans.
With first-hand experience in the Australian Defence Force and many years of supporting veterans through the healthcare system, our doctors understand the importance of a dedicated, premium service — one that not only addresses medical and psychological care, but also manages the complexities of paperwork and advocacy, with compassion, empathy, and understanding.
Our practice has been built around the unique needs of current and former service members, supporting every stage of the journey from active service, through transition to civilian life, and beyond. Personalised support for long-term wellbeing is our mission.
In particular, we provide comprehensive support for members discharging from service.
Our team can provide expert assistance with:
Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) claims assistance
Permanent Impairment assessments and diagnostic reports
Coordinated Veterans’ Care Program support.
Notably, all of our medical services have no out-of-pocket expenses for veterans.
Our new, dedicated facility is now open, and we look forward to welcoming you. Due to DVA requirements, we ask all new veterans to have an initial face-to-face appointment, which also helps establish a strong therapeutic relationship with your doctor and ensure a comprehensive understanding of your needs.
For the very best in care dedicated to those w/ho are called upon to serve our nation, call upon Fortitude Health Group.
Fees and Rebates
Because of the complexity of some government requirements, Fortitude is here to help make things simple.
We provide all necessary medical services covered by the DVA. Which means you’ll benefit from no out-of-pocket costs for DVA-related medical, mental health and liability claims.
In instances where services are not covered by a DVA White Card, your options will be discussed during your consultation, or with our team beforehand. We will always endeavour to do what’s best by you and your health.
