Did you know you can access our DVA and Medicare billed services in person at Capalaba or via Zoom?

Our experienced team are here to help and support you.

Veteran Advocacy Australia was established in 2020 to fill the void left by large organisations that are more interested in their own benefits than Veterans in need.

Thank you to all the Senators who voted against Matt Keogh’s Allied Health cap for Veterans

We are deeply concerned to learn today that unelected goons from the Institute of Veteran Advocacy (IVA) are harassing people asking legitimate questions of the organisation and where the millions of public money is being spent.

The IVA Directors were (self) appointed and currently in breach of their own rules with regard to integrity, conduct, and dishonesty.

Minister Matt Keogh needs to look at what is going on here. He also needs to immediately release the 70 submissions made regarding Veteran Advocacy Regulation.

Some Advocates are as efficient as a fork for your bowl of soup.

We're different, we've been there, we've fought for ourselves and we'll fight for you!

Advocates work for the Veteran not Australian Government Department of Veterans' Affairs, we follow the Legislation, not DVA Policy or incorrect interpretations.

Low fixed fee services for Veterans by Veterans.

If you are after information or advice contact us today.

The fake consultation on the $5,000 Allied Health Cap is now available on Australian Government Department of Veterans' Affairs website. Why do we call it fake? 1) They've already clearly been told by the community it's unwanted. 2) They'll do what they want and not communicate with the community.... remember the Advocacy Regulation "consultation" which still hasn't been released (and refused by FOI).

Tell them the Cap and Matt Keogh are unwanted!

The Government will be investing $169.7 million to increase fees for allied health providers from 1 July 2027

Truth, lies, and politics

More deceit from "Minister" Matt Keogh and Australian Government Department of Veterans' Affairs as they change the transparency in Veteran Claims and Processing data.

This is how they previously did it;

“As at 31 May 2026, DVA had 101,660 claims on hand, comprised of 31,316 unallocated claims and 70,344 claims being processed.”

This is how they are now doing it;
"On hand as at 31 July 2026:
Conditions: 98,398
Claims: 25,300
Veterans: 18,565".

Comparing Apples and Oranges to hide the truth!

One thing we know for certain; Veterans are waiting longer than ever for, initial liability, compensation, household services, incapacity claims, and service pensions.

We’ve received lots of messages and requests for information about the Veteran at Thursday’s NRL Brisbane Broncos game at Suncorp Stadium- unfortunately they are not doing well and attended hospital over the weekend, they report the humiliation has left them extremely depressed, anxious, and unable to function.

We are lending our support, will monitor the situation, and will assist with a Human Rights Commission complaint in the coming days.

Please be kind to each other, everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about.

A Veteran attending last night’s (Thursday) Brisbane Broncos v Melbourne Storm NRL game didn’t “look” disabled enough to use the disabled ticket line and entry gate according to Suncorp Stadium staff.

The Veteran became immediately distraught and wanted to see a supervisor, instead they were surrounded by 4-5 Certis Security staff (one claiming to be the Security Manager) and refused entry to their season membership seats.

Having this play out in front of their children the Veteran left the stadium shaking, crying, and visibly distraught.

After arriving to a safe space the Veteran was immediately sedated and put in contact with mental health support.

The Veteran who has been a Broncos Member for 10 years says they have encountered issues at the stadium accessing the lift before but nothing like this.

We are concerned incidents like this jeopardize Veteran safety and have the potential to regress health and continue the Veteran Su***de epidemic.

In 2026 organisations need to do better, individuals need to do better, and Governments need to do better.

We intend to support the Veteran through what will be a distressing but necessary process to ensure this never happens again.
