At KC Health Services, we understand that life and goals are constantly evolving, especially for Department of Veterans Affairs patients. That’s why we take the time to develop a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

We don’t just address your most pressing issue and move on—we focus on the bigger picture of your health and well-being.
Our approach combines a wide range of evidence-based treatments, from hands-on therapy to personalised exercise programs. While pain management is an important part of what we do, our ultimate goal is to help you regain function, mobility, and independence, so you can live life on your terms. We also prioritise communication with your wider care team, ensuring everyone is working together to deliver the best possible outcomes.
And while we’re serious about the quality of your care, we’re also down-to-earth, love to have a laugh and strive to create an environment where you feel supported every step of the way.
Our physiotherapists feel privileged to help those who serve or have served!
We clinic accept both DVA Gold and White card holders.
On your first appointment with us, please bring your DVA card and a current referral for physiotherapy from your GP or Medical Specialist.
We specialise in treating DVA physiotherapy patients, ensuring tailored care to meet their specific needs.
Physiotherapist services are available under the Allied Health Treatment cycle which means a referral will last for up to 12 sessions or 1 year (whichever ends first). There are no limits to the number of treatment cycles available to you.
Treatment cycles do not apply to physiotherapy services for those who possess a Totally and Permanently Incapacitated (TPI) Gold Card. Physiotherapy services must still be clinically necessary, evidence based and goals oriented. Our DVA physio service focuses on improving function and reducing pain through specialised treatments.
We can help with:

Pain Management
Planning and goal setting
Strength, endurance and cardiovascular fitness
Achieving your physical goals
Getting the most out of life
All eligible treatments under DVA Gold or White cards are billed directly to DVA with no gap costs to you.
If you have any questions about DVA appointments, you can send it to us via the enquiry form on our contact page.
