SELECT YOUR CLAIM TYPE
What can we help Queensland veterans with?
Everything is handled here. Most clients have more than one entitlement across DVA, CSC, TPD and ADF abuse, so there is no need to hop between pages to understand your options.
VETERANS & DEFENCE
DVA Claims
Since 1 July 2026, new DVA claims are decided under a single improved MRCA. Initial liability, permanent impairment, incapacity payments and appeals through VRB reviews.
MILITARY SUPERANNUATION
CSC Claims
Military superannuation invalidity classification for DFRDB, MSBS and ADF Cover, medical discharge entitlements, pension arrears and lifetime pension claims.
SUPER & INSURANCE
TPD Claims
If illness or injury has affected your capacity to work, the total and permanent disability cover inside your civilian or industry super fund may hold a benefit you can access.
AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE FORCE
Abuse Claims
Physical, psychological or sexual abuse during ADF service. Queensland has removed the time limits that once blocked historical claims. We help you access your rights, safely and privately.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
On the ground in Queensland
Queensland has one of the largest serving and ex-serving populations in the country. Townsville is the nation’s largest garrison city, home to Lavarack Barracks and the 3rd Brigade alongside RAAF Base Townsville. Gallipoli Barracks at Enoggera in Brisbane hosts the 7th Brigade, and RAAF Base Amberley near Ipswich is the RAAF’s largest base. Thousands transition to civilian life across the state each year, and many carry service-related conditions that are never claimed, or are lodged and rejected on evidence that was never properly built.
Statewide, online by design. DVA and the superannuation funds now process almost everything by phone and online, so where you live no longer decides who runs your claim. You deal with the same expert team the whole way through, from Brisbane to the Gold Coast, Toowoomba, Townsville, Cairns and right across regional Queensland.
STATE ENTITLEMENTS
Queensland Gold Card concessions
A Veteran Gold Card opens up more than DVA-funded treatment. Queensland Gold Card holders can access a range of state concessions, including vehicle registration and stamp duty concessions and public transport support, administered by the Queensland Government and separate from your DVA entitlements.
LAW CHANGE · 1 JULY 2026
The 2026 DVA law change and your claim
The three former compensation Acts are now a single ongoing scheme under the VETS Act. Payments already being received are protected. Whether a new claim is best lodged now depends on your circumstances.

GOT QUESTIONS? GOOD.
The honest answers, upfront
Do I need to be in Queensland?
No. We work with clients right across the state and Australia, and we are online by design. Meetings, documents and updates are handled securely online to fit around your life, so where you live in Queensland does not decide who runs your claim.
Which Act will my claim be assessed under?
Any new compensation or rehabilitation claim lodged from 1 July 2026 is decided under the single improved MRCA. Claims you lodged before that date continue under the Act that applied when you lodged them.
My claim was already rejected. Can you help?
A rejection is not the end of the road. It is a common part of the process. DVA decisions can be reviewed and appealed through VRB reviews, and we regularly act on matters that were previously knocked back.
