Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA)
Your DVA status will determine your level of cover, either white or gold. Both cards require a referral from an accepted source.
For white card holders to be entitled to Chiropractic care, they must require a referral from their GP or Chiropractor with the current referral before commencing treatment. The referral must contain the correct condition that the DVA has approved.
​
Gold Card Veterans are covered fully for Chiropractic care without specific conditions required.
​
White cards are covered if a referral to a Chiropractor is requested due to an injury sustained or caused by service or war.
​
​

What happens when I visit the Chiropractor?
Simply advise us that you are a DVA Health Card patient when you make your booking, and present the card and referral to reception to be processed.

Are there limits to the number of services I can receive?
