Konekt provides rehabilitation services to veterans across Australia

We understand how complex injuries and health conditions can be, especially after being a member of the Australia Defence Force, and when moving into civilian life and work.

Whether it’s recovering from a physical injury or addressing the psychological impacts, we use a ‘whole of person’ approach to help eligible veterans make the connections they need for a safe and healthy transition into their new life.

Your experienced team

Our team has been supporting veterans for more than 15 years – with more than 300 veterans enrolled in our service at any one time, serviced nationally by our team of allied health professionals based in our branches in every state and territory in Australia.

Konekt is proud to be recognised as a Veteran Employment Supporter and employ both ex-defence staff, defence partners and spouses and a number of active reservists amongst our national team.

We know first-hand the challenges many veterans face as they adjust to the world outside the ADF and we have the skills and experience to support our veterans through this transition.

We understand for many veterans, finding a civilian job that is as rewarding and fulfilling as the ADF can be a real challenge.

That’s why we aim to support our veterans in finding the career path that fully considers their experience, skillset and interests while assisting them with their medical and health challenges.

Our programs

If you’re eligible for a Rehabilitation Program, your case manager will refer you to Konekt for a rehabilitation assessment to determine which personalised program suits your needs.

Medical management

If you’re recovering from injury and receiving treatment, we help with:

  • Managing medical appointments, treatment, and medication
  • Understanding details of medical information
  • Managing self-care needs
  • Accessing aids and appliances to help recovery or manage the condition

Psychosocial rehabilitation

We want you to be able to enjoy your best quality of life and participation in the community. This program can include help with:

  • Pain management programs
  • Individual or group counselling sessions
  • Skill development
  • Lifestyle or hobby programs
  • Attendant care services
  • Drug and alcohol management

Vocational rehabilitation

Bringing your skills into a new working environment is a challenge for anyone changing jobs. But we know how to help you bring your best qualities to civilian employment. Our help involves connecting you to:

  • Retraining programs
  • Work trials
  • Job placement support

When you come to Konekt you also benefit from our established and extensive employment connections in local communities across Australia.

Access to valuable wellbeing resources and support

To ensure veterans have the tools they need to succeed, we provide a wealth of resources to support their physical and mental wellbeing, as well as their job-seeking goals.

This includes access to videos, articles, webinars, meditation guides, checklists, and practical tips tailored to veterans’ unique needs.

These resources are designed to build resilience, support healthy living, and offer career guidance to help veterans thrive in every aspect of life.

Veteran testimonials

“Before I started working with Konekt I… found life too difficult. Jasmine started as my case manager from Konekt and things instantly improved. She made everything so much easier to manage, assisted with seeking couples counselling, tips/tricks on parenting and helped manage all my claims. I am far better off now and have secure employment. I could not have done anything without her help. Thank you so very much.”

“Right from the first face to face appointment after being assigned my rehab consultant from Konekt, I have been most impressed with the level of professionalism and caring attitude in their role of both liaising with DVA, supporting my needs on an ongoing basis and assisting in finding meaningful and appropriate work. Specifically, my assigned consultant has continued to be a fantastic help as circumstances have changed throughout. Helping to organise psychosocial activities, TAFE courses for both future employment as well as interest based when I needed a break from dealing with my long-term goals. Nothing seems to be too hard for them.”

“The team at Konekt Wagga Wagga do an amazing job of taking care of all of my rehabilitation needs and help keep me on track with my studies. After transitioning from the ADF, I never once thought I was worthy of undertaking tertiary level study. The team at Konekt Wagga has helped me gain the confidence and the belief in myself and continues to guide, monitor and support me at a level that has been one of the main factors that has seen me perform very well at university. Konekt Wagga are brilliant, and my life is very different now because of them. I feel like I have a future where I can contribute and make a genuine difference. Thanks to Konekt, my future looks very bright and meaningful. Without their help and constant support, things would have been a lot different for me and my family.”
