DVA Admissions

We are a Tier 1 provider for the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA).

As part of this relationship, we provide a range of psychiatric services to eligible veterans and war widows, including:

  • Pre-admission and discharge planning support
  • Assistance in the co-ordination and streamlining of your care
  • Referral to appropriate services and resources
  • General health and lifestyle education, and counselling

Veteran Accounts and Entitlements

If you're an eligible veteran or war widow, you won't have any personal expenses for treatment at Townsville Private Clinic and you won't receive an account.

Please be aware that there may be additional charges for pharmacy and personal items that aren’t essential to your care, we will need to obtain approval from the DVA to cover those expenses

Types of Accommodation

We do our best to accommodate all requests and provide a private room where possible but at times where we are at capacity, shared rooms will be allocated with other patients of the same gender. 

Transport to and from Hospital

Some veteran patients are eligible to have transport arranged for them through the DVA.

Patients can pre-arrange transport vouchers with their General Practitioner prior to their admission to cover their journey to and from Hospital.

Alternatively, please contact the DVA.
