Where are you going?
A path for every stage of service.
Whether you're still in uniform, transitioning now, or have been out for years, the right next step depends on where you stand today.
Track 1
Still serving
Plan early. Engagement with DVA can begin while you're still in uniform, particularly for documented injuries.
- ,Attend the ADF Member and Family Transition Seminar
- ,Document all injuries, medical events and exposures on PMKeyS
- ,Open a MyService account and link your service record
- ,Consider lodging initial liability claims before discharge
Track 2
Transitioning now
The 12 months around discharge is critical for entitlements, super decisions and finding the right providers.
- ,Lodge initial liability claims for all conditions, even minor
- ,Get an independent review of your MSBS / ADF Super options
- ,Consider an advocate or lawyer for medical discharge
- ,Connect with Open Arms and a veteran-aware GP
Track 3
Already out
It is never too late. Many veterans only revisit DVA years later when conditions emerge or worsen.
- ,Re-open your MyService account and audit existing claims
- ,Lodge claims for new or worsening conditions
- ,Review invalidity benefit classification if applicable
- ,Connect with an ESO for community and welfare support
