Supporting Veterans and Their Families
The Veterans Support Group Queensland and its Sub-Branches are committed to one purpose: supporting the health, wellbeing, and welfare of veterans and their families. Our focus is, and always has been, on ensuring veterans receive the assistance, recognition, and support they deserve.
We welcome all current and former Australian Defence Force members, regardless of service type, deployment location, rank, or era of service. Whether you served in warlike operations, peacekeeping, peacemaking, hazardous service, or in Australia, we are here to help. We do not discriminate and recognise that military service can impact individuals and families in many different ways.
If you are experiencing physical or mental health conditions that may be connected to your service, our trained advocates can provide guidance and support throughout the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) claims process. Our advocacy services are provided free of charge and are delivered with professionalism, compassion, and a commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes for veterans and their families.
Our experienced advocates can assist with:
- Understanding DVA entitlements and benefits
- Lodging compensation and rehabilitation claims
- Accessing treatment and healthcare assistance
- Seeking specialist medical assessments where required
- Referrals to counselling, legal, and support services
- Appeals and reviews of unfavourable DVA decisions
- Family education and support relating to service-related conditions
Over many years, Veterans Support Group Queensland has developed a strong reputation for providing high-quality advocacy and support services. Veterans are regularly referred to us by other ex-service organisations, health professionals, and community support agencies because of our commitment to professional and veteran-centred assistance.
Beyond individual advocacy, we actively represent veterans’ interests by engaging with government, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, and the broader community on issues affecting veteran health, compensation, wellbeing, and recognition. We remain committed to ensuring veterans are treated fairly and that their rights and entitlements are protected.

Our Commitment
We stand alongside veterans and their families every step of the way. Whether you are seeking assistance for the first time, navigating a complex claim, or appealing a decision, our goal is to ensure you are supported, informed, and treated with the respect your service has earned.
Your service matters. Your wellbeing matters. We are here to help.
