At Chiro Pro we are proud to support Australia’s veterans and accept both DVA white and gold cards for chiropractic care. If you’re a veteran dealing with pain, injury or a service-related condition, you deserve prompt, high quality care — and we bill DVA directly so there’s nothing for you to pay out of pocket.

The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) provides funding for a range of health services — including chiropractic care — for eligible Australian veterans, war widows and dependants. DVA funding is provided through two main cards:

• White card — covers treatment for specific service-related conditions accepted by DVA
• Gold card — covers treatment for all health conditions, regardless of whether they are service-related

Both white and gold card holders are welcome at Chiro Pro.

Veterans often present with a unique combination of musculoskeletal conditions related to the physical demands of service. At Chiro Pro we regularly treat veterans with:

• Lower back pain and sciatica from heavy loads, prolonged sitting or physical exertion during service
• Neck pain and whiplash from vehicle accidents or physical trauma
• Shoulder injuries from overhead work, carrying equipment or falls
• Knee and hip pain from years of high-impact activity
• Headaches and migraines
• Overuse and repetitive strain injuries
• Postural problems from years of physical demands

Whether your condition is directly service-related or has developed over time, Chris will take the time to understand your history and build a treatment plan around your specific needs.

We bill DVA directly for all eligible appointments — meaning there is no out of pocket cost to you for covered treatments. Here’s what to do:

• Bring your DVA white or gold card to your first appointment
• If you hold a white card, bring any relevant documentation confirming your accepted conditions
• Chris will assess your condition and confirm that treatment is covered under your card
• We handle all billing directly with DVA — you simply focus on your recovery

If you have any questions about what’s covered under your card before booking, give us a call and we’ll be happy to help.

Chris understands that veterans often have complex health histories and may have been dealing with their conditions for many years. He takes the time to conduct a thorough assessment, listen to your story and develop a treatment plan that addresses not just your immediate pain but the underlying causes.

Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, mobilisation and a personalised rehabilitation program — whatever combination is going to get you the best result.

If you hold a DVA white or gold card and would like to access chiropractic care at Chiro Pro, book online today or give us a call and we’ll take care of the rest.

For gold card holders, no referral is required for chiropractic care. White card holders may need a referral depending on the condition being treated. Give us a call before your first appointment and we can confirm what’s needed based on your specific card and condition.

White card holders are covered for conditions that have been accepted by DVA as service-related. If you’re unsure whether your condition is covered, check with DVA directly or give us a call and we’ll help you work it out before your appointment.

Yes — dry needling performed as part of a chiropractic consultation at Chiro Pro is covered under DVA funding for eligible card holders. It’s one of the most effective treatments we offer for the muscle pain and tension that many veterans deal with.

In most cases DVA covers the full cost of your treatment with no gap, so there would be no need to also claim through private health insurance for the same appointment. If you have questions about your specific situation give us a call and we can help clarify.
