Latest Developments
LIPO-STEM DUO™ is already TGA-compliant and performed by AHPRA-registered doctors. We are in advanced engagement with the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) to have this treatment included under funded pathways.
How Funding Works
Under DVA rules, treatments not listed on the RMFS (Repatriation Medical Fee Schedule) may still be approved through a Prior Financial Authorisation (PFA). This is typically for:
● Innovative but evidence-supported therapies
● Treatments with peer-reviewed safety & efficacy
● Doctor-led submission on your behalf
What This Means for You
This isn’t just about funding a treatment — it’s about giving veterans a safe, natural, and effective alternative to surgery and long waitlists.
“We’re working with DVA to make LIPO-STEM DUO™ accessible for all
veterans. Your voice helps push this forward.”
— Don Baker, Co-Founder, Veteran Stem
