As registered DVA health care professionals, we are committed to providing the highest quality services to those who have served in the defence of our nation, ensuring their health and well-being.

Whether you're a veteran or a dependent, our experienced team is here to help with a range of health services covered under the DVA health care program, so you don’t have to worry about additional out-of-pocket costs.

What is the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA)?

The Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) is a government agency that is responsible for supporting veterans and their families. It offers a range of programs to help individuals who have served in the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and their dependents, providing assistance for both physical and mental health needs, as well as general well-being.

As part of its service to the veteran and defence force communities, DVA covers a variety of health services, including physiotherapy, exercise physiology, and dietetic services. At The Movement Standard, we are proud to be registered providers for DVA health cards, which means our clients can access these vital services at no extra cost when referred through DVA.

How We Can Help Veterans and Their Families

Veterans face unique health challenges, and our clinic is designed to address these with tailored, effective, and compassionate care. We understand the complexities of both physical and mental health for those who have served, and our multidisciplinary approach ensures that every aspect of your health is considered.

Our services include:

  • Physiotherapy: Helping to manage injuries, mobility issues, and chronic pain that result from years of service.

  • Exercise Physiology: Supporting rehabilitation, strength building, and fitness to improve overall well-being and functional capacity.

  • Dietetic Services: Providing nutritional advice and support to ensure veterans and their families maintain a healthy and balanced diet, particularly in the management of chronic conditions.

By working closely with DVA and maintaining a high level of communication with our clients’ GPs, we ensure that your care is streamlined and effective. The result is a more comfortable, pain-free life, along with the ability to engage fully in the activities that matter to you.
