Dr Nicholas Armitage is fully registered to care for both Gold and White Card holders.
At Hawthorne Chiropractic (Southside Brisbane), we proudly provide specialised chiropractic services for Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) clients.
If you hold a Gold Card, you are automatically covered for chiropractic care, provided you have a current Patient Care Plan from your GP or specialist.
If you hold a White Card, you are covered for chiropractic care if the treatment relates to a pre-approved condition.
Chiropractic is a safe, non-invasive way to manage pain, restore mobility, and improve overall quality of life. With more than 20 years of experience, Dr Nicholas Armitage understands the unique needs of veterans and provides personalised care to support long-term health.
As a single-practitioner clinic, Hawthorne Chiropractic offers continuity of care, you’ll always see the same chiropractor who knows your history and progress.
Dr Armitage works closely with DVA Gold and White Card holders to create individualised treatment plans designed around each person’s health needs and goals.
Our clinic is equipped with advanced X-ray facilities and uses evidence-based, state-of-the-art techniques to deliver effective care with a long-term focus.
Your first appointment includes a detailed assessment of your medical history, lifestyle, and specific health concerns to ensure your care is safe, thorough, and targeted.
We partner directly with the Department of Veterans’ Affairs to make the process as simple as possible. All required paperwork and authorisations are managed for you, so you can enjoy seamless, hassle-free access to chiropractic care.
Start by booking a consultation with your GP or medical specialist to obtain a personalised Patient Care Plan. This referral is required to access DVA-funded chiropractic care.
Ask your GP to complete an assessment and provide a referral for chiropractic care under a Patient Care Plan. Standard referrals are valid for up to 12 visits. If you are covered under the At-Risk Client Framework, your referral may instead be valid for 6 or 12 months, depending on your circumstances.
Ask your GP or specialist to provide a referral directly to Dr Nicholas Armitage for chiropractic care.
Ask your GP’s office to email your referral letter or fax to (07) 3899 5899.
