Veterans in New South Wales

Serving the Sydney veteran community.

Sydney has one of Australia's largest veteran communities, with serving members based at Holsworthy Barracks, the Navy's Garden Island and Balmoral establishments and RAAF Base Richmond, and thousands of ex-service members across greater Sydney, the Illawarra, the Central Coast and the Hunter.

March Ahead sees Sydney and New South Wales veterans by secure Telehealth: the same FRANZCP psychiatrists, the same independent report standard and the same funding rules as our Brisbane clinic, without a trip across town.

Appointment times

Sydney is one hour ahead of Brisbane during daylight saving; we confirm every appointment in your local time.

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.

Yes. There is no waitlist and veterans can typically be seen within days of contacting us.
How do I book an appointment from Sydney?
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 Sydney veterans choose Telehealth, and both follow the same clinical and reporting standard.
