Perth’s Comprehensive DVA Psychiatric Assessments for Veterans

Arranging a DVA psychiatric assessmentPerth is straightforward. You can contact us directly by phone or email with your request—no GP referral is needed. While we do not have psychiatrists based in Perth at this stage, we offer immediate appointment availability via Telehealth to ensure you receive a timely evaluation. Our team is committed to providing prompt and thorough assessments for DVA claims.

Before your psychiatric evaluation for veterans, it's helpful to send us any relevant medical records, including past psychiatric or psychological assessments and a list of current medications. If available, include documentation related to your military service, such as deployment records or service history. Additionally, sending any previous DVA correspondence or claim details can assist in providing a comprehensive evaluation. This information ensures a thorough and accurate assessment of your mental health in relation to your service.

The results from a DVA psychiatric assessment are used to provide an independent evaluation of a veteran's mental health condition. These results are detailed in a report, which is submitted to the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) to assist in determining eligibility for compensation or support services. The assessment helps establish the impact of service-related experiences on the veteran's mental health, aiding the DVA in making informed decisions regarding claims.

After a veteran psychiatric assessment, the psychiatrist will compile a detailed report outlining the findings and any diagnoses. This report is then sent to the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) for review. The DVA uses this information to assess eligibility for compensation or other support services.

No, March Ahead does not offer follow-up services after a DVA psychiatric evaluation, as our role is to provide independent assessments rather than ongoing treatment. It's important to consult with your GP, healthcare provider or the DVA for any additional care, resources or follow up care you may require.
