Who We Help
Who We Help
Veterans
If you've served in the Australian Defence Force, we recognise that military service can leave lasting impacts on mental health. We're honoured to work with veterans from all service branches and eras, and we approach your care with the respect your service deserves. Our team doesn't just treat symptoms; we take the time to truly acknowledge the context of what you've been through. With specific experience in veteran mental health, we're here to help you navigate conditions like depression, PTSD, and anxiety, offering genuine support and pathways toward healing that recognise the unique challenges you face.
Advocates
We collaborate closely with GPs, advocates, lawyers, case managers, and mental health professionals who support veterans. Zed3 provides clinical assessments, comprehensive reporting, and transparent communication to strengthen DVA claims and ensure continuity of care. Our team understands the documentation and evidence requirements to ensure our reports meet DVA requirements.
