DVA Treatment: What You Need to Know

If you hold a DVA Gold Card or White Card, your physiotherapy or exercise physiology treatment may be covered for approved conditions.

Accessing physiotherapy

To access physiotherapy under DVA, you will need a referral from your GP. Your GP will assess your condition and determine if physiotherapy is appropriate.

DVA Gold and White Cards

DVA Gold Card holders are generally covered for clinically necessary physiotherapy.
DVA White Card holders are covered for treatment related to accepted service conditions.

Starting physiotherapy

Once you have a valid GP referral, you can book an appointment. Our team will review your referral and begin treatment based on your individual needs.

What to bring to your appointment

Please bring your DVA card (Gold or White), your GP referral, and any other relevant medical documentation.
This allows us to organise your treatment and billing correctly.

Why choose Advantage Healthcare

We have been treating the Wynnum and bayside community since 2004, and we are a registered DVA provider. If you hold a Veteran Gold or White Card we bill the Department directly at the set fee, so your physiotherapy is fee-free and there is nothing to pay out of pocket. Gold Card holders are covered for any condition that needs treatment. White Card holders are covered for the conditions DVA has accepted as related to their service.

Because we are a multi-disciplinary clinic, you are not limited to one type of treatment. Alongside physiotherapy we offer exercise physiology under the same roof, both of which DVA funds with a referral. That matters if you are managing more than one service-related issue at once, say a knee that needs hands-on physiotherapy alongside a broader reconditioning program to rebuild your strength and mobility. The two can run together rather than being spread across separate clinics.

Our team is senior, and we treat veterans regularly, so we know the presentations that tend to come with years of service. Longstanding back, knee, ankle pain and shoulder problems, osteoarthritis, rehabilitation after surgery or a joint replacement, and balance and falls work for those who need it. We also bring strength and conditioning training to the reconditioning side of things, so the focus is on rebuilding genuine strength and function rather than only settling symptoms.

The DVA side is handled for you. You will need a referral from your GP to get started, and from there we work to that referral, keep your GP updated on how you are progressing, and take care of the reporting and paperwork so your treatment keeps flowing without you having to chase it. As your needs change we adjust the plan with you, so the treatment stays matched to what your body needs now.

Advantage Healthcare & Physiotherapy's goal is to provide the highest quality care possible to the Wynnum, Manly, Brisbane Bayside residents.
