Chermside Veterans’ Health

Corrie St Medical Clinic: Comprehensive Care for ADF Veterans and Serving Members

Corrie St Medical Clinic provides dedicated GP care for Australian Defence Force veterans and serving members across Chermside and the surrounding north Brisbane suburbs. Our doctors have extensive experience managing the healthcare needs of patients under the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, including those holding a Gold Card or White Card, and understand the specific considerations that come with a military service background.

Whether you’re navigating the transition from military to civilian life, managing an ongoing condition connected to your service, or simply looking for a GP who understands DVA processes without you having to explain everything from scratch, our team is set up to support that.

Comprehensive Care for ADF Veterans and Serving Members

Veterans often need more from a GP than a standard consultation allows, whether that’s time to work through a DVA claim, coordination with allied health providers, or ongoing mental health support. Our doctors build that into how appointments are structured, rather than treating veterans’ health as an add-on to general practice.

Our Veterans’ Health Services

• Transition Support: Moving from military to civilian life brings changes that go beyond the practical. Our GPs support veterans through this period with attention to both physical health and psychological wellbeing, acting as a consistent point of contact as patients move between military and post-military healthcare systems.
• DVA Claims and Permanent Impairment Assessments: Our doctors assist with DVA claims and Permanent Impairment assessments, helping patients understand the process and put together the information needed to access the support they’re entitled to. This can be a confusing area to navigate alone, and having a GP familiar with DVA requirements makes a meaningful difference.
• Mental Health Support: Our clinic works with psychologists and mental health professionals, including clinical psychologists, to provide mental health care tailored to veterans. GPs can develop a Mental Health Treatment Plan where appropriate and coordinate referrals as part of ongoing care.
• Allied Health Services: Rehabilitation and support for service-related injuries and conditions are provided in line with DVA guidelines for allied health treatment, ensuring veterans receive care that’s appropriately funded and coordinated with their GP.

Appointment Information for Veterans

Veterans’ health appointments often run longer than a standard consultation, particularly for DVA claims discussions or initial mental health consultations, so let reception know when booking if this applies to you. A cancellation policy applies to help keep appointments available for veterans who need them, and we ask patients to give as much notice as possible if they need to reschedule.

We also see serving ADF members for a limited range of services, recognising the particular healthcare challenges that come with being on active service.

• Cancellation Policy: We maintain a strict cancellation policy to optimize our resources and ensure that appointments are available for those who need them most.

Service to Serving ADF Members:

• Limited Services: While our primary focus is on veterans, we also offer limited services to serving ADF members, acknowledging the unique healthcare challenges faced while still in active service.
