DVA compensation claim reporting

If you've suffered a life-altering injury or illness due to your service in the ADF, you could be eligible to claim permanent impairment benefits through DVA.

Telecare's not only offers medical assessments and ongoing support, we also provide medico-legal independent medical examinations and reports for compensation claims. Our comprehensive approach ensures that veterans and their families receive the care they deserve on a timely manner, addressing their unique needs with compassion and expertise.

Telecare is equipped to offer fast-tracked services to veterans, with a commitment to assessments within 2-3 weeks and final reporting turnaround time within 5 business days.
Note:
Telecare is NOT a paid advocacy service - our fees are covered by the DVA, not from our patient’s compensation claims!

Independent medical examination

Medical examination is required as part of your compensation claim
When pursuing a DVA claim, DVA will require a subsequent medical assessment to evaluate the severity and impact of a patient’s health condition. Below is a simplified guide on this process

DVA Request for Report
Following the submission of a claim to DVA, Telecare will receive a request from DVA for an Independent Medical Examination. Once this is received we will reach out to veterans to organise a consultation.

Comprehensive Independent Medical Examination
During this appointment, a Telecare medical specialist will conduct an examination in relation to a set of criteria provided by DVA. Following the consultation, our specialists will produce a report on a veteran’s health condition and submit it to DVA for assessment.
Telecare specialists have experience writing reports that are compliantwith DVA’s criteria, and on average can produce these reports in 5 days.

Following this process, DVA will make a final decision in relation to your claim.
