Fast, detailed reports – prepared by Dr. Al Griskaitis
Getting a DVA Psychiatric Report
(for Mental Health Conditions)
with Dr. Al Griskaitis
Step 1
Contact me!
Email me let me know what you need and your phone number
Step 3
Document your Adversities & Trauma
There's two documents you'll need to prepare:
"Trauma Headlines"
Just the gist of bad stuff (instructions).
"Summary of Postings"
Just a list of postings (instructions).
Step 2
Online Forms
I need some info, use these online assessment forms:
- FORM 1 (general info) &
- FORM 2 (checklists).
(about 20 minutes each)
Ideally a Family/friend and psychologist/GP to also answer a few questions (5 minutes)
Step 4
Assessment
The hard work has been done!
The last bit is the assessment, it's informal.
I try to have that booked in within a week of you supplying my the info above.
You'll need a GP referral.
We'll look at big picture stuff and treatments that might help.
I usually have both the
- DVA report and
- Detailed treatment plan
for your GP ready
the next day.
If you'd like to have a DVA report prepared by Dr. Al, you've come to the right page.
I do DVA reports all the time!
My reports are detailed and I can get them done really quick!
There can be hold ups in getting the DVA REPORT REQUEST, so get on DVA's radar:
First Up
Before I can do a report:
- We'll need to have a email check in or phone call to sus out what you need. Email me: al@thepsychcollective.com
- We need a
request for a
report from DVA. If you don't have one, there's some paper work that might need to be done.

Brief instructions:
Complete the online FORMS:
Step 3
Send the link for FORM 3
Send to people who can corroborate your impairment (eg GP, colleague, family, psychologist, etc. not essential, but helpful.)
Prepare TWO documents:
How quickly that's done is on you. As soon as you've done these steps we'll book in a phone appointment, usually within a week.
I've turned around reports in 24 hours for people who get everything sorted fast. I usually do phone assessments on Thursdays, report done by Friday.
The sooner you get your bits done, the sooner we can have the report prepared (the biggest delay is getting the request from DVA).

You’ve given your best in service—now it’s time to make sure you’re supported in return.
Best wishes,
- Dr Al Griskaits
