Independent representation for veterans in DVA claims.

The recent Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide emphasized the vital role of advocates in helping veterans with DVA claims. This has shifted focus from volunteer advocacy to professional advocates, who provide targeted support and better outcomes. Fees from private advocates fund comprehensive services, allowing for dedicated assistance and ongoing training. Consequently, professional advocates are more effectively aligned in managing cases and navigating the DVA system. This transition improves support for veterans and addresses key issues identified by the Royal Commission, enhancing mental health outcomes in the veteran community.

Our experienced Advocates often uncover multiple claims that veterans were unaware they could make. This is a key part of our value proposition. Our in-depth knowledge of the DVA claims framework allows us to identify and pursue all potential entitlements for our clients. Many veterans are surprised to learn about additional claims they're eligible for, which can significantly impact their overall compensation and support. By leveraging our expertise, we ensure that no potential claim is overlooked, maximizing the benefits our clients receive from the DVA system.
