DVA
Gold & White Card Veterans
DVA Covered
Nutrition support for veterans, fully covered through DVA.
If you hold a DVA Gold Card, or a White Card with an accepted condition, your consultations are fully funded through the Department of Veterans' Affairs — with no gap fee.
Why See an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD)?
An APD is a university-qualified nutrition professional accredited through Dietitians Australia, meaning your care is backed by current evidence and real clinical training, not trends or guesswork. For DVA cardholders, this matters because it's the recognised qualification required to claim dietitian consultations through DVA.
- University-trained and nationally accredited through Dietitians Australia
- Completed supervised clinical placements in hospitals and community settings during training
- Assessed against a national set of professional competencies before qualifying
- Required to complete ongoing professional development and upskill every year to stay accredited
- Must meet Dietitians Australia's requirements annually to remain a member in good standing
- Recognised by DVA, Medicare, and most private health funds

- Veterans holding a DVA Gold Card
