Veteran Health
Your health. Our mission.
Veteran Health Services
Veteran Health Services in Australia began with basic medical and financial aid for World War I soldiers in 1917.
Over time, these services have evolved to address the comprehensive health needs of veterans and are crucial for ensuring the wellbeing and quality of life for those who have served.
The importance of Veteran Health & Wellbeing
At Provocatus, we understand the challenges faced by Australian veterans and their families.
We believe in honouring the dedication and sacrifices of those who have served our nation. Ensuring access to Veteran Health Services is crucial for the well-being of Australian veterans.
These services play a vital role in helping veterans lead fulfilling lives, an impact that extends through to their families, friends, and our broader community.
Provocatus is dedicated to transforming veteran health services in Australia.
As a veteran-owned pharmaceutical company, we understand the unique needs of veterans and their families.
Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our GMP-certified medicines designed for chronic conditions prevalent among ADF veterans.
Provocatus stands for quality, innovation, and integrity, making us the trusted partner in enhancing veterans' health and wellbeing.
Veteran Health Services: Providing GMP-certified medicines for chronic conditions.
Support for Health Practitioners: Assisting with navigating the DVA system for treatment approvals.
Access to Medicines: Providing access to approved pathways for medicinal products through GP or prescriber consultation.
Partnerships: Collaborating with leading Australian manufacturers for reliable and local supply chains.
Commitment to Quality and Innovation: Upholding ethical practices and innovative solutions, catering to the individual needs of every patient.
“The biggest barrier, I find, is someone who understands the veteran. Finding a prescriber or doctor who knows the veteran and what they’ve been through, the medications they’re on and knows the DVA system...
At Provocatus, we work with the veteran to gain confidence and navigate the system in a safe and ethical manner.”
