Provocatus responds to recent reports of veterans being targeted by companies advertising ‘free’ DVA-funded medicinal cannabis, often supplying THC products to vulnerable individuals with histories of addiction or mental health conditions without appropriate oversight. As a veteran-owned company, Provocatus stands for ethical, responsible care that connects veterans to trusted, locally supported healthcare providers.

At Provocatus, we’re dedicated to supporting initiatives that make a genuine impact for veterans. That’s why we’re proud to support Forge Through, an inspiring program founded by veteran Dean Hamilton that’s creating real change in the lives of ex-servicemen and women.

As part of Veterans' Health Week 2024, Provocatus was proud to host an insightful webinar led by our Veteran Access Scheme™ psychologist, Beth Masling. The session, titled "Grit: Strengthening the Mind and Body," focused on helping veterans develop practical skills to enhance their mental and physical resilience. 

On the 17th of October 2024, as part of Veterans' Health Week, Provocatus hosted a special movie night at the Coledale RSL, featuring the iconic film Black Hawk Down. With the ocean as a backdrop, the event was a great way to reflect the theme of this year’s Veterans' Health Week—"Keeping Connected." 

The team at Provocatus is honoured to support Australian Veteran Ash Semmens as he embarks on his remarkable journey to swim across the English Channel. This sponsorship towards the Navy Clearance Diver Trust reflects our deep commitment to championing veteran causes and celebrating the incredible achievements of those who have served our nation. 

On Tuesday, 10th September 2024, our team at Provocatus will join Lifeline South Coast for the Out of the Shadows Walk. Held at sunrise to mark World Suicide Prevention Day, the walk shines a light on suicide and brings communities together in solidarity.

Did you know veterans can claim transport expenses through the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA)? Through our Veteran Access Scheme™, we frequently speak with veterans who are unaware that they can claim transport expenses for medical appointments. We're here to help you understand and use the veteran health care benefits available to you.

In this post, we’ll explore what PAMT is, why it’s incredibly important at this moment, and how Provocatus and the Veteran Access Scheme are leading the way in utilising this program to support veteran health.

In an episode of the "Life on the Line" podcast, host Alex Lloyd talks with Kasey Mumford, a former officer in the Royal Australian Navy and Managing Director at Provocatus Pty Ltd.

Kasey shares her incredible journey through her navy career, her experiences during key naval missions, and her transition to life after leaving the service. It's an engaging and thought-provoking conversation.

Provocatus supports National Pain Week (24 - 30 July). It's about recognising the toll that chronic pain can have on those closest to us. Paul Warren knows about pain. The Afghanistan veteran and Veteran Access Scheme ambassador lost his right leg in 2009 when an improvised explosive device detonated during a patrol in Uruzgan Province's Baluchi Valley. He turned to plant based medicine to assist with nerve pain and improve his sleep.

To coincide with Veterans’ Health Week 2022, Provocatus has teamed up with Coal Coast Fitness and will be sponsoring a sunrise yoga session and morning coffee for veterans located in the Illawarra region.
