Coordinated care
Here for veterans at every stage of the journey
Our Broadmeadow clinic is a local access point to a coordinated care model built specifically for veterans.
We see veterans at every stage of their healthcare journey, from those taking the first step to those managing long-term or complex conditions. Pain management is a high clinical priority at this location.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before you reach out. Our role is to help you find the right pathway and coordinate the care that follows.
What’s available at TVH Newcastle?
Our Newcastle clinic offers in-person and telehealth appointments, connected to the full TVH coordinated care network.
GP care for veterans
A dedicated GP who understands service history, military culture and the specific health needs of current and former ADF members. Your GP plays a key role in coordinating your care.
DVA healthcare
For eligible DVA White Card and Gold Card holders, we help you understand what you're entitled to and connect you to funded healthcare pathways.
Chronic pain management
Assessment, ongoing management and referral pathways for service-related and complex chronic pain conditions. Pain management is a clinical priority at this location.
