Gold Card and White Card Eligibility

DVA Gold Card holders are generally covered for all health conditions, while DVA White Card holders are covered for conditions accepted as related to their service. If you’re not sure which card you hold or what’s covered, DVA or your GP can confirm your eligibility before your first session.

How DVA Funding Works

For eligible Gold and White Card holders, sessions can be claimed through DVA at no out-of-pocket cost, in line with the DVA fee schedule. White Card holders will generally need a referral from their GP or treating practitioner for the accepted condition. Gold Card holders can typically access exercise physiology with a GP referral as well, to ensure your program is appropriately coordinated with your broader care.

Getting Started

Bring your DVA card details and any relevant referral to your first appointment. If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible or what your card covers, get in touch and we can help you work it out before booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a Gold Card and a White Card?

A Gold Card covers treatment for all health conditions, while a White Card only covers conditions that DVA has accepted as related to your service. Your DVA correspondence will confirm which conditions are covered under a White Card.

Do I need a referral?

White Card holders generally need a referral from their GP or treating practitioner for the accepted condition. We recommend Gold Card holders also have a GP referral so your exercise program is coordinated with your other care.

Is there a cost to me?

For eligible DVA card holders, sessions are claimed directly through DVA in line with the DVA fee schedule, so there’s generally no out-of-pocket cost for accepted conditions.
