For GPs and referrersRefer a veteran with confidence.
Immediate availability, FRANZCP psychiatrists, clear correspondence back to you, and two clearly separated pathways so you always know which service you are referring into.
Services for referrers
Clinical Psychiatric Care
Ongoing treatment with a treating psychiatrist for trauma-related conditions, depression, anxiety, adjustment difficulties and TBI-related presentations.
- Include the veteran's DVA card details and current medications
- We coordinate psychology and social work referrals as needed
- Correspondence returns to you after the initial consultation and at review
Independent Psychiatric Reports
One-off independent assessments by a non-treating psychiatrist for DVA claims, VRB matters, impairment and incapacity questions and retrospective medical discharges.
- Veterans can contact us directly once DVA issues a TRN
- Advocates and legal representatives welcome to enquire
- Privately funded reports available where DVA has not requested an assessment
What referrers can rely on.
No waitlist
Veterans are typically seen within days of referral, by Telehealth or in person in Brisbane.
FRANZCP psychiatrists
Every psychiatrist is a Fellow of the RANZCP; our psychologists are AHPRA registered.
Two distinct roles
Treating psychiatrists provide care and treating reports; independent reports come from a psychiatrist who is not involved in the veteran's treatment.
Research-active
Academic appointments at Flinders and JCU, with active veteran research collaborations.
Objective reports
Independent reports rest on the clinical interview, testing and records alone, with no outcome promises.
Clear communication
Correspondence back to the referring practice after consultations and at review.
Practices, hospitals and ex-service organisations.
We welcome strategic partnerships with mental health providers, veteran support services and allied health professionals committed to Australian veterans.
