What is RSL Life Care? Find out

We’ll help you get the best outcome for your situation.

We understand the process for lodging claims with Department of Veterans’ Affairs can often be time consuming and stressful. It’s also an important part of ensuring you are set up for life after service, and also provides a sense of recognition and respect for the contribution you made during your service.

Independent advice on making a claim

We take a personal approach to every person’s case. Our trained staff can offer information and advice on the process of making a DVA claim, as well as the government legislation that covers veterans’ compensation.

Help lodging DVA claims

We can help by making the DVA claims lodgement process as easy as possible. We can support you through the entire claims lodgement process or take the lead and manage the process for you.

Help appealing a rejected DVA claim

We can also help appealing a rejected claim. This includes advocating on your behalf at the Veterans’ Review Board or alternative dispute resolution.

Help accessing mental health treatment

Anyone with at least one day of service in the ADF is able to receive treatment for mental health conditions through the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, even if the condition has not been accepted as service related.

We can provide independent advice on preparing claims, as well as what you can access before a claim is accepted.

"It has been a long road and my advocate has done well with my claims so far...your employees do make a difference, thank you."
