The CVC Pilot will test whether the use of a digital coaching app can assist veterans to manage mild to moderate mental health concerns, in conjunction with traditional treatment through a GP.
The pilot builds on the CVC Program, which uses a team-based model of care led by a GP, and supported by a practice nurse, to provide overall clinical management planning and care coordination.
The pilot is being trialled in selected regions in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania. It is available to eligible DVA White and Gold Card holders who are under 55 years of age with mild to moderate anxiety or depression (Kessler-10 score of 20-29) and a musculo-skeletal condition requiring pain management.
