Medical assessment form tips

The medical assessments you provide support veterans with their compensation claims. Use our quick guides to find out what you need to do and how you can get paid.

What is military compensation

We compensate veterans for injuries and illnesses resulting from their Australian Defence Force (ADF) service. Military compensation allows them to access treatment, benefits and other supports at our expense.

We use medical assessments from GPs, psychiatrists and other healthcare providers as part of our compensation claims process. These assessments help us to understand:

• if the veteran’s injury or illness was the result of their ADF service
• what compensation and support the veteran needs.

Forms and resources to help you

You can find our Compensation forms at the Provider forms page. You can search for these forms by using words in the form title or by searching by ‘Audience’ for ‘Compensation provider’. Some of these forms are still under review and more will be added over time.

We have quick guides to help you understand what we need from you, how you can support your patients and how you can get paid for your medical assessments.
