Built from experience. Driven by purpose. Here for veterans.
About Us
At The Nicholas Clinic, we help veterans navigate the DVA mental health claims process with expert psychiatric assessments, professionally written, DVA compliant, and always free to the veteran.
But we’re more than a report service.
We’re here because we’ve lived it.
The clinic was founded in honour of a friend we lost too soon. Someone let down by the very system that was supposed to help. That moment became our why. And it's the reason we show up every day to make sure no veteran has to face this journey alone, confused, or unheard.
Our values
Presence
We believe in showing up. Not just with our skills, but with real attention and care. When a veteran reaches out, we don’t treat it like a transaction. We treat it like a moment that matters. Whether it’s your first call or a follow-up after your report, we’re here, fully present, and ready to listen. Because sometimes, what you need most isn’t a quick fix, it’s someone who truly sees you.
Integrity
We don’t cut corners. We don’t dress things up. And we don’t tell people what they want to hear, we tell them what’s honest, fair, and accurate. That means every psychiatric report we write is impartial and backed by clinical expertise. You can trust that what we deliver is built on truth, not bias. That’s how we support better outcomes — by being clear, consistent, and grounded in integrity.
Expertise
Veteran mental health isn’t just a checkbox on a form. It’s complex, layered, and deeply personal. That’s why our team brings years of specialised experience, not only in psychiatry, but in understanding the unique mental health challenges faced by veterans and service members. We’re not generalists. We’re here because we know this space, and we care enough to get it right.
Access
Support shouldn't depend on where you live, who you know, or how loudly you ask for help. We’ve designed The Nicholas Clinic to remove barriers — offering assessments via secure telehealth and ensuring that every service we provide is free to veterans. No travel required. No upfront costs. Just the help you need, when you need it, wherever you are.
