Qualified DVA Financial Advice for PI, SRDP Payments and More

We provide advice to ADF members, veterans and their families on DVA entitlements and financial planning.

Permanent Impairment

Have you received a permanent Impairment lump sum offer from DVA? Our certified financial planners provide the advice you need to understand your options and make an informed decision.

SRDP

Special Rate Disability Pension

Need financial advice for your SRDP offer from DVA? Our certified financial planners can clearly explain your options, allowing you to make the decision that best supports your financial future.

cost covered

Costs Covered By DVA

DVA will cover the cost of financial advice for PI and SRDP offers (up to a set amount). For any other services, we will provide a clear and upfront quote, ensuring there are no surprises.

Financial Advice for all DVA Entitlements

Our certified financial planners offer comprehensive financial advice on all matters related to DVA entitlements, as well as personal financial planning services. This means we can guide you not only through compensation payments, pensions, and other DVA benefits, but also assist with broader financial planning, including retirement strategies, superannuation, investments, and managing your financial future.

When you receive a PI lump sum or an SRDP compensation offer, DVA provides reimbursement for the cost of obtaining financial advice. This is capped at a set amount and is designed to ensure you can access professional advice before making a significant financial decision. If you require advice outside of these areas, National Service Financial will provide you with a quote before we begin, so you always know what to expect.

Understanding your superannuation is key to long-term financial security.

We can also advise on strategies such as SMSFs to help you make the most of your benefits and income in retirement.
