Not many people know that nearly all ex and current Australian Defence Force members can receive an unlimited number of sessions with a psychologist at no cost. Regardless of corp, trade, or rank; whether the mental health issue is from childhood, pre, during, or post service, you can receive therapy.
If you’ve served at least one day of continuous full-time service (all full time ADF members and many reservists) you can apply for a white card via “My Service” as found in the link below and apply for free mental health treatment. The link also provides you with some information on how the funding works.
The application is extremely fast, and it allows you to see a psychologist at no cost, with only a referral. We hope to have more ADF veterans and members receiving any support that they need. ADF personnel put their life on the line for our country, it’s the least we can do to provide support.
