Accessible Mental Health Through Our Telehealth Psychology Services

Veteran Advocacy Australia is committed to ensuring every veteran has access to the support they deserve. We provide timely and effective mental health care, including telehealth psychology services delivered by our qualified professionals. We understand that the unique experiences of service can present challenges, and accessing psychological support isn’t always straightforward. That’s why our telehealth psychology service offers a modern, confidential, and accessible way for veterans to connect with our team from the comfort and privacy of their own homes.

Life after service can bring a range of adjustments and, for some, mental health challenges such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, and difficulties transitioning to civilian life. At Veteran Advocacy Australia, we recognise these struggles and believe that quality mental health support should be within easy reach for every veteran across Australia, regardless of their location or circumstances. Our dedicated telehealth psychology service is designed to meet this need.

Why Our Telehealth Psychology Service Can Be a Game-Changer for Veterans

Our telehealth psychology service utilizes secure video conferencing or phone calls to deliver therapy sessions directly from our experienced psychologists. This approach offers numerous advantages tailored to the needs of the veteran community:

Enhanced Accessibility

• Overcoming Distance: For veterans living in rural, remote, or regional areas, travelling to a psychologist’s office can be a significant barrier. Our telehealth service removes this obstacle, connecting you with our qualified professionals no matter where you are.
• Mobility and Health Challenges: Physical injuries or health conditions that make travel difficult are no longer a roadblock to receiving consistent mental health support from our team.

Increased Comfort and Privacy

• Familiar Environment: Seeking support from your own home can feel less daunting and more comfortable, fostering a greater sense of openness and honesty during sessions with our psychologists.
• Reduced Stigma: While societal understanding of mental health is improving, some veterans may still feel a stigma associated with seeking help. Our telehealth service offers a discreet way to access support without needing to visit a clinic.

Greater Convenience and Flexibility

• Fits Your Schedule: Appointments with our psychologists can often be scheduled more flexibly, fitting around work, family, or other commitments, reducing disruptions to your daily life.
• Reduced Wait Times: Accessing one of our psychologists via telehealth can mean shorter wait times compared to some in-person services, allowing you to get support sooner.

Effective and Evidence-Based Care

• Proven Results: Research and clinical experience have shown that telehealth psychology can be just as effective as traditional face-to-face therapy for a wide range of mental health concerns. Our team is trained to deliver high-quality care remotely.
• Specialised Support: Our psychologists have experience in veteran mental health, understanding the unique context of military service and tailoring their approach accordingly.

Continuity of Care

Consistent Support: If you need to relocate or travel, our telehealth service allows you to maintain your therapeutic relationship with your Veteran Advocacy Australia psychologist, ensuring uninterrupted support.
