Mission
You served your country. The paperwork shouldn't be the battle.

ExitBrief keeps the whole claim in one place: what you have, what you are waiting on, and what DVA needs next. It never asks for your myGov or MyService login, and it takes no cut of anything you are awarded.

01 · What it does

Your claim, organised.
On your phone.

Built for the long middle of a claim, when you are waiting on doctors, letters and decisions and the paperwork piles up.

Crisis support, always visible

One tap to Emergency, Lifeline and Open Arms from every screen. Never buried in a menu.

24/7
01

Your claim file

Your conditions, a dated timeline, and who you are waiting on, in one place. Names only, no medical detail stored.

02

What comes next

Seven plain-English steps, checked against DVA's own pages and marked with the date they were checked. Always your own letter first.

03

Waiting on

Note what you have asked for and who from. See how many days it has been and send a polite follow-up in one tap.

04

When something changes

Guides for when DVA decides, asks for more information, or you cannot work, including a helper that works out your review window.

05

A note for your doctor

Share a ready-made request for each condition that asks for what DVA asks of a diagnosis. It never tells the doctor what to conclude.

06

Claim pack

One summary of your conditions, timeline, waiting list and documents to send to your advocate or keep for yourself.

07

Documents

Keep your records against each step, on your phone. Export any file whenever you need it.

08

Plain Talk

Switch it on and the acronyms become plain English. Off by default, one tap in the header.

02 · See it in action

Made for a phone, at any hour.

Dark by default, light when you want it. Big type and one idea per screen.

ExitBrief Home: a greeting, where you are in your claim, and your next step

Home

Where you are in your claim and the next step. The crisis line is always one tap away.

ExitBrief My Claim: your steps, what is next, and your claim file

My Claim

Your seven steps, what to gather next, and your claim file underneath.
