DVA Psychiatric Reports

If your mental health has been affected by Australian military service, a generic report often fails to secure your full entitlements. You need one that clearly connects the dots between your service, your symptoms, and the relevant criteria.

Dr Al Griskaitis delivers high-resolution DVA psychiatric reports that:

  • structure your key service stressors with clarity

  • map symptom onset, escalation, and persistence over time

  • apply the Statements of Principles (SoP) with precision

  • provide clear, defensible causal reasoning for liability decisions

Reports are typically completed within weeks, supported by a streamlined online intake process that captures the critical information upfront and reduces delays.

You are not required to use a DVA-arranged provider. My reports are prepared completely independently, with a focus on accurate, and defensible reporting.

You will also receive structured treatment recommendations and practical resources to support ongoing management with your GP.

Watch the video to see how the process works.

Clear report. Clean reasoning. Correct outcomes.

How to Get Started

Step 1: Reach Out

Email me to let me know what you need, where you live, and your phone number.

My email address is [email protected]

I will respond in 1-3 days. 

Step 2: Complete Online Forms

 To save hours of chit-chat, please fill in these online forms (essential):

 Have a family member or friend also answer a few questions about how your service has affected you (5 minutes)

Step 3: Document your Adversities & Trauma (Stressors)

 

There's a word document you'll need to prepare:

"Trauma Headlines" (essential)

Just the gist of bad stuff.

Here are the instructions to prepare the document.

Email this to me at [email protected]

Step 4: Assessment

 

The hard work has been done!

The last bit is the telehealth assessment; it's informal.

I will contact you within days of receiving the information, and will book the appointment usually within 2-4 weeks.

 

You'll need a GP referral prior to the assessment.

Ideally, the referral needs to state:

Dr Al Griskaitis - Psychiatrist assessment, treatment recommendations and report.

We'll look at big picture stuff and treatments that might help.

 

I usually have both the

  • DVA report and
  • Detailed treatment plan for your GP

ready the next day.

Personalised, Independent Support for Your DVA Claim

When you work with me, you’re not dealing with a shonky third-party provider nor someone affiliated with DVA. You’re dealing directly with an experienced psychiatrist who focuses on PTSD and understands the challenges you’ve faced in service and the consequences of those challenges.

My goal is simple: to ensure your sacrifices are appropriately recognised and that you receive the entitlements you deserve. I bring my expertise and a deep understanding of veteran mental health, crafting detailed, evidence-based reports tailored to meet DVA requirements to support your claim.

 

You’ve given your best in service. Now it’s time to make sure you’re supported in return.

 

Best wishes,

- Dr Al Griskaits
