Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA)

At Macquarie Health Hub, we are proud to support our veterans through the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) program, providing Exercise Physiology and Physiotherapy services to eligible DVA cardholders.

Support for Veterans (DVA Referrals)  

What is a DVA Referral? 

A DVA referral formally known as a D0904 referral is issued by your GP or specialist to help you access clinically necessary allied health services that support your health, independence, and quality of life. 

Your referral may cover services such as: 

  • Exercise Physiology – for improving mobility, managing chronic conditions, and building strength. 

  • Physiotherapy – for rehabilitation, pain management, and restoring function after injury or surgery. 

Referrals are typically valid for 12 sessions or 12 months, whichever comes first. 

How We Assist 

Our team of Accredited Exercise Physiologists and Physiotherapists are experienced in working with veterans and can: 

  • Develop individualised exercise programs for conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic pain, and post-surgical recovery. 

  • Provide rehabilitation support following injury or illness. 

  • Offer education and lifestyle guidance to help you maintain long-term health and independence. 

  • Coordinate care with your GP and other health professionals to ensure a team-based approach. 

Benefits of DVA Support
