A few platforms and organisations stand apart from the rest, for these platforms thrive not just for the founders’ passion and their vision to bring great glory to their brands but also, most importantly, for the powerful purpose on which their very foundation stands. Talking about one such platform, Medilinks Access based in Australia, is a platform driven to transform the lives of veterans and Australian Defence Force (ADF) members by providing them with specialised psychiatric assessment services to help them with their mental health compensation claims.
This comes as a stand-alone vision that not many organisations have focused on much before, helping Medilinks stand unique from the rest. The team highlights, “We noticed how veterans suffered more from mental health conditions than the general public due to a wide range of reasons associated with their Australian Defence Force (ADF) service from high-stress environments, defence culture, to exposure to traumatic events. These often contribute to mental health issues such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety and also aggravate mental health issues when they transition to civilian life. Hence, a platform like Medilinks was the need of the hour.”
The team goes on to explain that several veterans cannot find a suitable psychiatrist to assist them with the assessment services they need for their mental health compensation claims with the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA), which results in huge wait times and poor outcomes. This is when Medilinks enters the picture to make all this effortless and accessible for veterans.
Understanding these problems, an expert team of psychiatrists, psychologists, and veterans was formed to provide the care and support veterans need and deserve. Their psychiatrists and other experts put veterans at ease, provide them with the necessary assistance, and make an accurate assessment to ensure the most equitable outcome.
Medilinks’ (@medilinks_aus) vision to be there for veterans with the most specialised psychiatric services so that everything becomes easier for them with mental health compensation claims has further solidified its position in the healthcare industry for veterans in Australia. It is only poised to do more for the veterans’ community in the coming years.
