Soul Medicine VAR provides supportive telehealth DVA assessments to patients Australia-wide in the safety and comfort of the home.

OUR
SERVICES

Serving your country can be a way of life, a source of pride and a time of adventure and camaraderie. However, many veterans experience challenges after spending time in the military, including mental health difficulties. This is more common than many like to admit, and after many years of denial, for whatever reason, it can be hard to come to terms with. An experienced psychiatrist can support you through this journey to achieve the best outcomes for your health and wellbeing.

Soul Medicine VAR provides supportive telehealth DVA assessments to patients Australia-wide in the safety and comfort of the home. Dr Morris-Butler leads the team of psychiatrists at Soul Medicine VAR and has significant knowledge and expertise in Statements of Principles (SoPs) used in determining claims for veterans. Our psychiatrists provide the highest standards of clinical care and are committed to maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of each patient. Our DVA assessments include an in-depth explanation of symptoms and causes, which guides a personalised evidence-based treatment recommendation.

Your privacy and confidentiality are important to us. We are committed to managing  personal information according to the Australian Privacy Principles as set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act).
