Department of Veterans' Affairs

What is the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA)?

DVA is a department of the Australian Government that provides support, services and information for people who have served in defence of our nation, and their families. This includes, veterans and their dependants, serving and former serving ADF members, war widowers, Australian British Nuclear Tests participants, members of the Australian Federal Police, and students, teachers and historians. 

Who is eligible?

The Feet People are a proud supporter of DVA and are able to support and treat DVA clients if they hold either a DVA Gold Card or DVA White Card.

We understand that every patient is different, so our services are tailored to the individual. Both our podiatrists and our support team take the time to understand your goals and work out ways to achieve them.

Our range of services includes but is not limited to:

• General skin and nail podiatry care
• Diabetic foot assessments & treatment
• Custom foot orthotics
• Relieve pressure & pain felt by plantar fasciitis, bunions, ball of foot pain, arthritis and more. 
• Fungal nail treatment

DVA require prior approval for some items like diabetic assessments and orthotics.

We can treat DVA clients in our clinics, or through our home visit services. Our mobile podiatry service is perfect for those looking for in-home treatment, as we can offer complete podiatry care, orthotics and footwear.

What we need from you

In order to see our podiatrists, you must get a DVA D904 referral from your GP, made out to The Feet People.

This referral will last for 12 months or a maximum of 12 visits, which ever comes first.
