On World Health Day, check in with your GP
World Health Day on 7 April is a chance to focus attention on health issues and promote access to health services for all.
We support the health of veterans and families through a range of services and programs, many of which can be accessed through your GP, including the Veterans’ Health Check.
If you don’t have a GP, reach out to your local general practice, tell them you have served in the ADF, and ask them about the Veterans’ Health Check.
The Check is a comprehensive health assessment completed by your GP to help you better understand your health and wellbeing.
Get help to manage and take charge of your own health, take action to stay well, address health concerns early and develop a relationship with your GP. It is fully funded by DVA.
- Veterans who have served one day in the ADF and transitioned out of the ADF from 1 July 2019 are eligible for an annual Veterans’ Health Check for up to five years after transition.
- Veterans who have served one day in the ADF and transitioned out of the ADF at any time before 30 June 2019 are eligible for a one-off Veterans’ Health Check.
