Canberra is the heart of Australia's defence establishment. More ADF members and veterans are concentrated here than almost anywhere else in the country. If you're a veteran in the ACT or surrounding region and you need help with a DVA compensation claim, CSC invalidity application, or appeal, Clear Path Veterans can help.
All our consultations are remote. Phone and video, no office visits required.

DVA Compensation Claims
We prepare and lodge initial liability claims under the MRCA, VEA, and DRCA. We handle the evidence, medical liaison, and claimant report forms so your claim is strong before it reaches a delegate.
Permanent Impairment
We help you prepare for your PI assessment and make sure your impairment points and lifestyle rating reflect the real impact on your life.
CSC Invalidity Classification
If you've been medically discharged, your CSC invalidity classification determines your ongoing pension. We help with initial classifications, reconsiderations, and reclassification reviews across MSBS, DFRDB, and ADF Cover.
Appeals and Reviews
If your DVA claim has been refused or your CSC classification is wrong, we help you challenge the decision through reconsideration, the Veterans' Review Board, or the Administrative Review Tribunal.
Serving Veterans Across the ACT and Region
Canberra's veteran community is one of the most concentrated in Australia. Many ADF members post into Canberra for headquarters roles, training positions, or policy work, and a large proportion settle here permanently after discharge. We work with veterans across the ACT, Queanbeyan, Bungendore, and the broader Capital Region who served at:
Russell Offices and Campbell Park
Department of Defence headquarters, home to the Chief of the Defence Force, service chiefs, and thousands of ADF and APS staff.
Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA)
Joint officer training institution affiliated with UNSW, located in Campbell.
Royal Military College Duntroon
The Army's primary officer training establishment.
HMAS Harman
Navy communications and administrative facility in Deakin.
Headquarters Joint Operations Command (HQJOC)
Located in Bungendore, directing all ADF operations.
If you served at any of these locations, or anywhere else in ACT, and you have conditions related to your service, we can help you claim.
