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.

​

​
