Who is eligible?
Current and former full-time members of the ADF can receive fully funded treatment of all mental health conditions. This includes reservists who have at least one day of continuous full-time service (CFTS).
CFTS is defined as:
-
full-time service in the permanent forces of the ADF
-
a reservist who has been formally designated to be on full-time service by Defence
-
a reservist who has been called out for full-time service by the Governor General under the Defence Act.
CFTS does not include training conducted as reserve service days.
Reservists without CFTS may still be eligible if they have either:
-
Disaster Relief Service
-
Border Protection Service
-
involvement in a serious service-related training accident.
If you have a DVA referral from your GP, you are eligible for blocks of 12 fully covered therapy sessions—no Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) required.
