Veterans
This resource can help you understand what types of questions to ask patients who have served and therefore are a Veteran, and the best ways to ask them, and what questions or topics should be approached with caution.
It can also be used for patients who are both Veterans and carers for someone who is a Veteran.
From 1 July 2026, new incentives will support more proactive and coordinated care for veterans experiencing mental health conditions.
An additional $99.30 incentive item can be co-claimed with an attendance item for the development of a Better Access GP MHTP or a time tiered consultation (of 20 minutes and above) where the attendance is for review of a mental health treatment plan and provision of ongoing mental health care. The incentive can be accessed up to four times per year.
