Veterans in Queensland

Serving the Gold Coast veteran community.

The Gold Coast has one of Queensland's largest ex-service communities, with the Army's Land Warfare Centre at Kokoda Barracks, Canungra, in the hinterland and many veterans who have settled along the coast after service.

Gold Coast veterans can choose secure Telehealth or an in-person appointment at our East Brisbane clinic, about an hour up the M1, for clinical care, DVA-requested assessments and privately funded reports.

Two services, one standard

Ongoing care with a treating psychiatrist, or an independent report by a non-treating psychiatrist for a DVA claim. Never both from the same clinician.

How do I book an appointment from the Gold Coast?
Call +61 7 3435 1513 or email intake@marchahead.com.au. For an independent assessment, have your DVA Treatment Reference Number ready; no GP referral is needed. For clinical care, have your GP referral and DVA card details.
What happens during the assessment?
A detailed clinical interview with a FRANZCP psychiatrist, validated psychometric questionnaires, a review of your service history and records, and a discussion of how your symptoms affect your daily life and work.
How long does an assessment take?
Typically two to three hours, including psychometric testing.
How long until my report is sent to DVA?
Reports are usually ready within two weeks of your consultation and are sent directly to DVA. Our team can confirm the expected timing when you book.
What does it cost?
Clinical care and DVA-requested assessments are fully funded through DVA with no out-of-pocket cost to the veteran.
What do I need for a Telehealth appointment?
A private space, a reliable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone. We send you a secure video link before your appointment.
Is Telehealth as effective as in person?
For psychiatric assessment and care, secure video consultation provides the same comprehensive clinical interview, psychometric testing and reporting standard as an in-person appointment.
Can I choose an in-person appointment instead of Telehealth?
Yes. In-person appointments are available at our clinic at 42 Manilla Street, East Brisbane QLD 4169. Most Gold Coast veterans choose Telehealth, and both follow the same clinical and reporting standard.
