Welcome to Calmed Forces, the calm after the storm. We are committed to being the
solution for veterans facing chronic pain after their service. As an Australian company
dedicated to serving those who have served, we understand the unique challenges that
come with life after military duty. Our founder, a veteran and doctor with personal
experience in pain management, leads our mission to provide comprehensive and
compassionate care.
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.
At Calmed Forces, we specialiSe in alternative and complementary therapies tailored to
each individual's needs. Our holistic approach integrates a variety of healthcare plans
designed to alleviate chronic pain and enhance overall well-being. Whether through
innovative treatments or supportive care plans, our goal is to help veterans reclaim their
lives and find peace and relief.
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. Join us at Calmed Forces, and let us help you
navigate your journey towards a pain-free life.
