ABOUT US
As an Australian company dedicated to supporting those who have served, we understand the unique challenges veterans face in life after military service. Led by our founder—a veteran and doctor with personal experience in pain management—Calmed Forces is committed to empowering veterans with the knowledge and connections needed to access effective care.
We specialise in facilitating access to alternative and complementary therapies that are tailored to the specific needs of veterans. By connecting you with trusted providers and offering guidance on holistic health care plans, we aim to help you manage chronic pain, improve well-being, and reclaim your life. Whether you're exploring innovative treatments or looking for supportive care options, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Our founder, Dr. Tim Nelson, brings a wealth of experience and compassion to Calmed Forces. Dr. Nelson joined the RAAF in 1999 and qualified on the RAAF F-111C in 2003. He completed the RAAF Fighter Combat Instructor (FCI) course in 2006 and was the FCI for the RAAF's No. 1 Squadron until he posted to the USAF as the Australian F-15E Exchange Officer in 2007. Returning to Australia in 2011, he played a leading role in the tactical implementation of the RAAF's new F/A-18F fighter aircraft. Promoted to SQNLDR, he became the RAAF EA-18G Project Office Tactical Operations Project Officer before transitioning to a career in medicine.
Dr. Nelson graduated from Griffith University in 2017 and, after completing his MD and hospital training, returned to the RAAF as a medical officer in 2021. He qualified as a fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners after being medically discharged from the RAAF in 2022. As a veteran and chronic pain sufferer, Dr. Nelson is passionate about helping veterans manage their conditions and improve their quality of life with all available therapies.
After a highly successful and rewarding career in the ADF, Dr. Nelson sees it as his new vocation to use the skills and experience he has gained with his time in defence to improve the lives of fellow veterans.
