If you hold a DVA Gold or White card, your specific medical costs will be fully covered by the Department of Veterans Affairs. In this case there is no out of pocket expense. You will however, be required to provide a GP referral stating that your require physiotherapy, before your first appointment.
A Gold Card entitles the holder to DVA funding for services for all clinically necessary health care needs, and all health conditions, whether they are related to war service or not. The card holder may be a veteran or the widow/widower or dependant of a veteran. Only the person named on the card is covered.
A White card entitles the holder to care and treatment for specific injuries only. These injuries will be stated on the card and must also be stated on the GP referral.
