  • Meg Ward, 5 Year Air Force Fire Fighter

    I, unfortunately, had to be medically discharged in 2021. Previously I had an injury that Kai helped me through the DVA process and once I found out I was discharging I reached out to Kai to start the process again. Since that my discharge has been complicated as I was still going through injuries and having issues on my way out. B&B Advocates had been there for me every step of the way helping with EVERYTHING. They answer my calls day and night and go above and beyond to always make sure I am looked after and that I have claimed everything possible. I can't recommend these guys enough, they have made the process as pain-free as possible and always helped me with any paperwork I had. Without knowing this process and how DVA works it can be very daunting but having B&B Advocates on your side can take that fear away.

  • T. Anderson, 4 Year Infantry Soldier

    Kai and the team have been awesome since taking over my file after they were recommended to me by a friend. They are great at keeping you updated throughout the process and always available to answer questions. What stood out was Kai’s knowledge and experience with the system. I’d highly recommend B & B Advocates, it’s taken the hassle out of the process and given me peace of mind knowing I’m in good hands.

  • Sean - 6 Year Army Infantryman, 1RAR

    My name’s Sean and I served in the Australian Army for almost 6 years as an Infantryman with 1RAR. I obtained several injuries throughout my career which included a tour to Afghanistan. As a result, I was medically discharged from service. My experience with the guys from B&B Veterans Advocates was top-tier. From the moment I first made contact with them, through to receiving my compensation, they went above and beyond my expectations and delivered more than I could have asked for. Without their assistance, I believe my claim would have taken much longer to process and I wouldn’t have received what I was entitled to. I can't thank them enough for making a daunting and difficult process so incredibly easy and stress-free.
