In this blog, we’ll go over the specific benefits that the government says you can get for chiropractic services as a Veterans Affairs cardholder, and we’ll share what we offer in particular. We’ll also include some information on our massage services, as these also come under the White Card. That way, you can make an informed healthcare decision.
The Veterans Affairs White Card and Chiropractic Services

The Australian government clearly defines chiropractic services on the Department of Veterans’ Affairs website. It also states that you can benefit from chiropractic services if you have an “assessed clinical need”, a condition related to your time in service, and a Veteran White Card.

If you’re covered, then you’ll be able to get an assessment as well as a treatment plan. If you choose to go ahead, you’ll benefit from treatments we offer like spinal manipulation and corrective exercise. We offer both of these at our two clinics. We have one in Wolli Creek, which is in Sydney’s Inner West, and another in Kareela, which is part of the Sutherland Shire.

To take advantage of the entitlements available to you with a Veterans White Card at our clinics specifically, you’ll need a referral to our chiropractor, Dr John Infante. He is registered as a service provider, so the referral can come from any number of sources. These include your Local Medical Officer, General Practitioner, hospital doctor, current chiropractor, or medical specialist.

When you’re referred to us, you can have three initial consultations per year, and each one needs to be for a new episode of a disability you had before beginning treatment. You can also claim additional consultations for that specific condition. The Department of Veterans’ Affairs will pay all of your fees if your injury is service-related.

Our massage services also fall under chiropody, which means they’re covered by the White Card provisions, as outlined above. Massage therapy is one of these services, and it has a wide range of benefits, like increased alertness, heightened immunity, and increased joint mobility. All of these are priorities for a lot of veterans, and we’re pleased to offer solutions for them.

If you’d like more information about how we can help you as a Veterans White Card holder, then please reach out to us through our website, and we’ll answer any of your questions.
