Are you considering discussing natural therapy options with a doctor?
Certain therapy options may be discussed with a qualified doctor as part of a broader clinical conversation, where appropriate and based on an individual assessment.
In some cases, a doctor may consider these therapies alongside other aspects of care, taking into account your medical history, current treatments, and individual circumstances. Not all therapies are suitable for everyone, and suitability is determined through consultation with an authorised healthcare professional.
Why is medical oversight important when exploring natural therapy options?
In Australia, access to certain therapies and related medicines is regulated to support patient safety. Consulting a qualified healthcare professional enables an individual assessment of suitability based on medical history, clinical considerations, and current regulations.
Products supplied through regulated pathways must meet established quality and manufacturing standards. Medical oversight also supports appropriate dosing, monitoring of responses, and ongoing clinical review where required.
Products obtained outside regulated channels may not meet Australian quality standards.
What should I ask the doctor?
You may wish to ask your doctor whether certain therapy options may be appropriate for you, taking into account your medical history, current medications, and individual circumstances.
Our clinical team can help explore whether any options may be suitable, explain relevant regulatory considerations, and support informed decision-making as part of your consultation.
What is the cost?
Services provided through Valentius are not covered by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS).
However, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) may consider full or partial funding on a case-by-case basis. Eligibility and funding decisions are made solely by DVA.
The Valentius team can provide information about eligibility criteria and support patients in understanding relevant DVA application processes. Where appropriate, our team is able to assist in completing required documentation.
