Australian Veteran Health Services (AVHS) is a purpose-driven, multi-disciplinary medical organisation founded by veterans, for veterans. With clinics in Springfield QLD, Daw Park SA and Deakin ACT we specialise in supporting current and former Defence personnel as they transition to civilian life, offering expert assistance with DVA claims, Initial Liability Reports, Permanent Impairment Assessments, VRB reports, and ADF Transition Medicals.

We are seeking dedicated and experienced Psychiatrists to support our caring team. You will join an integrated, multidisciplinary service that values collaboration, clinical support, and shared care. Our growing wellbeing group offers an environment where your work will be closely supported with experienced psychologists, wellbeing clinicians, general practitioners, and clinical teams to deliver coordinated, high‑quality patient care.

Assessments can be completed anywhere in Australia, via telehealth or in person at one of our clinics and are conducted in accordance with the Medicare Benefits Scheme (MBS). Any treatment recommendations will be administered and followed up by the veteran's treating General Practitioner and psychologist to ensure patients receive continuity and well-coordinated follow-up care!
