Department Of Veterans Affairs​

We have an extensive history working with Veterans from many different eras.

Our Exercise Physiologists understand the unique nature of their physical and psychological conditions.

Damian Pavlinovich (Principal Exercise Physiologist) was the creator of the health and exercise program for Vets’ throughout Western Australia over 25 years ago. This was called the Heart Health Program.

He started working with the Veterans Counselling Service (now called Open Arms) in the early 2000’s to improve their quality of life and relationships, help them gain control over their health conditions and re-introduce them to fitness.

His recognition of the unique needs for Veterans, combined with his approach where everyone is equal, has seen many Veterans re-introduced to a healthier life.

Entitled DVA clients (Gold Card or White Card) may be referred for Exercise Physiology treatmenst by their general practitioner on a valid D904 referral form. Upon referral DVA will pay for clinically necessary treatment.
