We work with the Department of Veterans Affairs to help navigate the process for eligible patients.

* Subject to DVA approval. We work with the DVA to help navigate the process for eligible patients. The DVA considers funding natural medicine on a case-by-case basis. Our team can assess and discuss your eligibility. There may be a pharmacy co-payment of approx $7.70 payable by the patient to the pharmacy.
There are tight restrictions around the prescribing of certain natural therapies in Australia, however, eligible patients can access these medicines if deemed appropriate by a healthcare professional.
Visit the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) website or the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) for more information.
The Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA) considers covering eligible veterans for natural medicines, either partially or fully, depending on your condition, and if deemed medically appropriate by a doctor.
Valentius supports veterans through the entire process. Our medical professionals, including DVA doctors and nurse practitioners, manage initial screening and assessment of suitability, develop an appropriate treatment plan, prepare and apply for all regulatory approvals and DVA funding application where applicable. Ongoing monitoring, adjustments and regular support ensure veterans are supervised throughout their treatment and get the best possible care.
Valentius looks after eligible veteran patients all around Australia, even in rural and remote areas, via the convenience of telehealth. Our services are put in place to potentially fill the gap in helping alleviate patient symptoms with nature-based therapies, when conventional medicine has failed or fallen short.
We have made it easy for you. No referral is necessary but we do need your medical summary in order for our team to get the full picture of your health needs.
Screening and appointments at Valentius are bulk billed for all DVA card holders. If you are deemed eligible for natural medicine, Gold Card members may be assessed by the DVA to have their medication fully funded. White Card holders’ medication funding is subject to approval by the DVA based on their condition and symptoms such as incessant pain. This may result in either full or partial funding.
Yes, you can reschedule or cancel your appointment up until 48 hours before your appointment time to cover costs and ensure appointments stay available for patients that need them.
