TVH Outpost Melbourne
The doorway to Veteran healthcare for Melbourne locals
The TVH Outpost Melbourne connects former ADF members living in or around Melbourne to service-informed care.
We start with a GP on St Kilda Road who understands your history, then draw on the full TVH national network to address your needs, including chronic pain pathways and mental health care.
Dedicated Veteran Health Care in Melbourne
Face-to-face and telehealth
Access to DVA support
Coordinated care
Here for you
Our Melbourne clinic offers a local entry point into a coordinated care model built specifically for Veterans.
We see Veterans at every stage of their healthcare journey, from those who’ve just recognised they need help to those managing long-term conditions. Pain management is a high clinical priority here.
You don’t need to have everything organised before you book. Our role is to help guide you through the process and coordinate the care you need.
What’s available at TVH Melbourne?
Our Melbourne clinic provides face-to-face and telehealth appointments, backed by the wider Total Veteran Healthcare network and coordinated care model.
GP care for veterans
A dedicated GP who understands military service, veteran health and the long-term impact service can have on physical and mental wellbeing. Your GP remains the central point of coordination throughout your care journey.
DVA healthcare
Care funded for eligible DVA White Card and Gold Card holders, with support in understanding entitlements, referrals and funded healthcare pathways.
Chronic pain management
Assessment, treatment planning and multidisciplinary referral pathways for musculoskeletal injuries, service-related conditions and persistent pain presentations, with access to broader support where required.
Mental health support
GP-led mental health care with access to psychology and psychiatry referral pathways for PTSD, anxiety, depression and other mental health concerns.

Clinical support for veterans preparing or progressing DVA compensation claims, including DVA claims, assessments and supporting documentation.

- DVA claim medical report support
- Mental health assessment and referral pathways (psychology, psychiatry)
