DVA offers programs and support to help you before, during, and after separation from the ADF as you transition to civilian life. Transitioning to civilian life is a big step but you don't have to do it alone. Here are some services and supports available to help maximise your wellbeing in civilian life. MyService is an online platform accessed through myGov. It helps you manage your DVA business. With MyService you can, apply for free mental health treatment, lodge claims, view accepted conditions, apply for and access your DVA Veteran Card, and book transport for medical treatment and claim for travel reimbursements. You can access MyService before you separate or transfer, you just need to link the Department of Veterans' Affairs to your myGov account and complete the registration process.

VSOs can be found on most military bases and offer personalized guidance and assistance in planning ahead and engaging with DVA services. You can access VSOs while still serving or after you've separated or transferred. You can book an appointment by sending an email to vso@dva.gov.au. Open Arms is Australia's leading provider of mental health assessment and counseling for Australian veterans and families. They offer free and confidential counseling, group programs, and peer support to service personnel, veterans and their families. They also offer the Stepping Out workshop, a popular primer for personnel transitioning to civilian life.

It is essential to care for yourself physically and mentally. Getting a regular health check is recommended. That's why DVA provides a free veteran health check with a GP following your separation or transfer. Additionally, if you separated after the 1st of July 2019, you are eligible for an annual veteran health check every year for the first five years. It is a comprehensive assessment completed by a GP to help you manage and optimise your health. And don't forget, DVA offers free mental health care for life, without needing to link the condition to your service. For more information on what this includes, check out the link below. Just a recap, sign into your MyService account to keep on top of your DVA services, see a Veteran Support Officer to help plan your transition, check out Open Arms for helpful information about transition and to access mental health support, access free veteran health checks with a GP. Remember, through DVA, current and former full-time members of the ADF can access free mental health care anytime.
