Australian occupational therapists are providing a range of services to Department of Veterans' Affairs clients although mostly relating to physical conditions.

Further research and education are needed to support use of specialist knowledge and interventions. Advocacy by peak associations and policy reform are urgently required to ensure sustainable services, particularly in rural areas.
