(a) A Program Tool is a clinical support tool provided as part of your individual treatment plan. It is not a gift, prize, reward or offer.

(b) A Program Tool is only provided where your treating practitioner assesses that it is clinically appropriate to support your mental health goals (for example, tracking activity and sleep patterns), and records it in your treatment plan.

(c) You cannot request or claim a Program Tool as an entitlement. Whether one is provided is a matter for your practitioner’s clinical judgement.

(d) Program Tools are provided at our cost. They are not charged to you or claimed from DVA.
