A Familiar Story
“I knew I needed to get help but didn’t know where or who to turn to.”
“I have been suffering with alcoholism and PTSD now for the better part of a decade. Serving with the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service and Australian Defence Force posed numerous challenges and life upsets. Coming from this male dominated background and the shame of admitting having feelings or being affected by certain things cost me almost everything. My wife left with my daughter, followed by loss of employment after being diagnosed with PTSD and substance abuse, drinking copious amounts to try to fill the void.”

How can we help veterans in recovery?
Life outside of service can be hard.
We offer unique support from those who understand.
Designed to address a diverse array of mental health and addiction challenges, Palladium Private’s program can provide an empathic and equipped environment for veterans to heal and rebuild their lives. After years of working with veterans, we have developed a deep understanding of their unique recovery needs and as such, have collaborated with ADF lived-experience mentors and facilitators to customise elements of our program to be able to offer informed, industry-leading support.
Unlike traditional veteran-only rehabilitation programs, the Palladium Private veteran-informed program sees veterans journey alongside individuals from all backgrounds, not solely defence, helping to encourage connection and establish a sense of community.
We are committed to supporting veterans through their DVA funding application process for treatment in our program. Whilst DVA approval cannot be guaranteed, our dedicated team provides guidance and support to help streamline the experience, allowing you to focus on recovery and preparing for your stay.
Palladium Private’s commitment to evidence-based practice is the cornerstone of our veteran-focused recovery program. We employ a comprehensive biopsychosocial approach, understanding that successful rehabilitation requires addressing the intricate interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors. Our programs integrate clinically proven therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and trauma-informed care, with personalised support to address individual needs. This holistic strategy ensures that veterans receive targeted treatment, while also fostering social reintegration and building resilience. By grounding our approach in scientific evidence and a deep understanding of the veteran experience, we empower individuals to achieve lasting recovery and a return to fulfilling lives.
Whilst a nationally accredited mental health and addiction treatment centre, Palladium Private specialises in providing exceptional patient-centred clinical care that balances evidence-based therapies with empathy-led professional support in a natural retreat-like hinterland environment – a welcomed alternative to more traditional hospital settings.
Believing in the therapeutic value of connection and having witnessed the acceptance and empowerment that comes with recovering alongside individuals on similar journeys but with wide ranging backgrounds and stories, Palladium Private follows a modified Therapeutic Community (TC) model of care. We offer a supportive and safe environment where your comfort is prioritised and your needs are met, allowing you to fully engage in your treatment.
Palladium Private’s program has been carefully designed to help clients in understanding the root cause of their condition and provide real tools for a sustainable recovery. The invaluable addition of lived-experience professionals who understand the unique challenges faced by veterans, offers further support to those who have served in regaining a sense of autonomy, personal identity, and place in community, reinforced by enjoyable recreational reintegration excursions throughout their stay.
At Palladium Private, we are committed to providing comprehensive care for our veteran clients, recognising their unique needs. To ensure seamless access to essential support services, we provide a dedicated Veteran Peer Support Specialist. This individual serves as a central point of contact and a vital resource, assisting with connections to community networks and navigating other crucial auxiliary services. This personalised support ensures a smoother transition post program and fosters a strong foundation for your continued success and long-term wellbeing.
