» At Acumen Health, we understand the challenges of military service and the transition from active duty to civilian life.
Our national experienced team of rehabilitation consultants support members and those navigating their transition.
We address all physical and psychosocial aspects to ensure a successful and sustainable return to work and daily life.
With a team that includes reservists, veterans, and defence spouses, we bring lived experience and a unique perspective to our work.
For over a decade, we’ve been dedicated to supporting veterans, driven by our passion for helping them reconnect with their communities and achieve lasting success through the right support.
At Acumen Health, we’re committed to delivering safe, informed, and compassionate support to every veteran we work with. All of our consultants who support veteran clients hold current Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) accreditation, ensuring they are equipped to recognise, respond to, and guide individuals experiencing mental health concerns.
This accreditation reflects our dedication to high‑quality, evidence‑based care, and our belief that every veteran deserves support from professionals who understand the complexities of mental health with confidence and sensitivity. We encourage all people supporting veterans to sign up for free mental health and suicide prevention training so you too can gain practical skills that may change or save a life.
Veterans now have the freedom to select their preferred rehabilitation provider.
If you’d like Acumen Health to support you through your journey to recovery and success, simply inform your DVA Delegate.
