ABOUT US Australian Veteran Health Services is a veteranled medical practice supporting current and former Australian Defence Force members as they transition to civilian life.
Many veterans experience barriers accessing consistent primary care, particularly care that understands the unique and complex health impacts associated with military service. AVHS exists to address this gap by providing ongoing general practice care, alongside support with DVArelated health needs, transition medicals, and complex care coordination. Our clinicians practise medicine that is traumainformed, culturally aware, and relationshipfocused, recognising the cumulative impact of military service on health and wellbeing.

The model supports longitudinal relationships, comprehensive care planning, and advocacy for patients navigating complex and chronic physical and mental health needs.
