You've Served. Now Let Us Take Care of You.
At Enhanced Physio, we’re proud to support the men and women who’ve given so much for our country. As a registered DVA provider, we make it simple to access the care you deserve – with no out-of-pocket cost for all DVA card holders and on-the-spot billing so you can focus entirely on your recovery.
Your service has meant everything to this country.
But we know that service often comes at a physical cost – whether that’s a back injury that’s been quietly getting worse over the years, balance problems that have crept in, joint pain that flares up after a busy week, or a body that just doesn’t feel like it used to.
At Enhanced Physio, we believe you shouldn’t have to manage that alone, and you certainly shouldn’t have to worry about what it costs.
We are a registered Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) provider with clinics in Southport on the Gold Coast and Runcorn in South Brisbane.
Our team of physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, and dietitians is here to help you move better, feel stronger, and live the kind of life you’ve earned.
We leave no stone unturned in finding what’s really holding you back – and we handle all the DVA billing on your behalf. No paperwork, no confusion. Just care.

Which DVA Card Do You Have?
Understanding your entitlements is the first step. Here’s a plain-language breakdown of each card and what it means for your care at Enhanced Physio.
Gold Card
Fully Covered, All Services, Unlimited Visits
The Gold Card is the most comprehensive DVA entitlement. If you hold a Gold Card, you are covered for all allied health services at Enhanced Physio - including physiotherapy, exercise physiology, and dietetics.
Gold Cards are typically issued to: - Veterans who are totally and permanently incapacitated (TPI) - Veterans aged 70 and over with eligible wartime service - War widows and widowers $0 out-of pocket.
Unlimited for TPI. Gold Card referral required
White Card
Covered for Accepted Conditions
If you hold a White Card, DVA covers allied health services that are related to your accepted service-related conditions. This means you can receive fully funded treatment for the specific injuries or health conditions recognised by DVA as connected to your service.
Not sure whether your condition is covered? Our reception team is happy to help you check before your first appointment $0 out-of pocket.

Getting Started Is Simple
We’ve made the process as straightforward as possible. Here’s how to begin.
1
See Your GP
Visit your GP and request a referral letter for DVA-funded allied health services. Your GP will specify the services you need and the conditions to be treated.
2
Call or Book Online
Contact Enhanced Physio on 1300 833 866 or book online. Let us know you’re a DVA client and which card you hold. Our team will confirm your entitlements and book you in.
3
Bring Your DVA Card and Referral
On the day of your appointment, simply bring your DVA card and your GP referral letter. That’s all you need.
4
Start Your Recovery
We handle all the billing directly with DVA. You leave your first appointment focused on getting better - not on admin.
A Clinic That Goes the Extra Mile - For Every Patient
We take our responsibility to DVA clients seriously. Here’s why veterans choose Enhanced Physio.
Registered DVA Provider - Gold Card and White Card Accepted
We are fully registered with the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. We accept Gold Cards and White Cards, and we bill DVA directly on your behalf. No forms to fill in, no claims to chase, no surprises.
A Multidisciplinary Team Under One Roof
You don’t need to travel to three different clinics to get the care you need. Our Southport and Runcorn clinics bring physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, and dietitians together in one place. Your whole team can communicate and coordinate - which means better results for you.
We Find the Root Cause - Not Just the Symptom
Many veterans have managed pain and discomfort for years, sometimes decades. We don’t just treat the area that hurts. Our proprietary 3R Rehab Philosophy and Results Focused™ approach is designed to uncover what’s really driving your condition and address it properly - so you get lasting improvement, not just short-term relief.
An Experienced, Caring Team
Our clinic was founded by Perry Ho, a physiotherapist with over 16 years of experience. Every practitioner on our team is selected not just for their clinical skill, but for their genuine commitment to the people they work with. We take your history, your goals, and your life seriously.
Two Convenient Locations in Queensland
With clinics in Southport on the Gold Coast and Runcorn in South Brisbane, we’re accessible to veterans across southeast Queensland. Both clinics offer a welcoming, unhurried environment where you can feel comfortable and cared for.
Extended Hours - We Work Around You
We’re open Monday to Friday 8:00am to 7:00pm and Saturday 8:00am to 4:00pm. Early mornings, evenings, and Saturdays - we’re here when it works for you.
Your DVA Questions, Answered
Yes - for DVA-funded services, you will need a referral letter from your GP. Your GP will need to specify the services required and the conditions to be treated. Once you have your referral, just call us to book and bring the letter to your first appointment. If you’re unsure what to ask your GP for, our team can guide you.
A DVA Card covers services at Enhanced Physio with no out-of-pocket costs and no cap on visits. This includes physiotherapy, exercise physiology and dietetics. DVA card holders also receive on the spot DVA billing - no forms, no claims, no payment at the desk.
Gold Card holders have no limit on the number of sessions. Your treatment continues for as long as it is clinically appropriate. White Card holders are covered for services related to their accepted conditions - if you have specific questions about your entitlements, our team can help clarify this when you call to book.
For Gold Card holders, there is no out-of-pocket cost for services covered by DVA. We bill DVA directly, so you won’t be asked to pay anything at the clinic for your covered appointments. White Card holders are covered for their accepted conditions - please speak with our team if you have questions about your specific entitlements.
Yes. Dietetics is a covered allied health service under DVA, and our accredited dietitians are available at both our Southport and Runcorn locations. If you’re a Gold Card holder, your dietitian appointments are fully funded. White Card holders may be covered depending on their accepted conditions.
Please bring your DVA card (Gold or White) and your GP referral letter. If you have any relevant medical history, imaging results (X-rays, MRI reports), or previous treatment records, it’s helpful to bring those along too - but they’re not essential for your first visit. Our team will take a thorough history at your initial assessment.
Yes. Because we’re a multidisciplinary clinic, DVA Card holders can access multiple allied health services under DVA - for example, seeing a physiotherapist and a dietitian in the same visit. Our team communicates internally so your care is always joined up.
The best first step is to speak with your GP, who can help determine whether your condition is accepted under your DVA entitlements. You’re also welcome to call our team on 1300 833 866 - we work with DVA clients regularly and can help you understand what to ask for before booking.
