S03E32 | Dr Alexis Badger - With Me With You - life as an Army Doctor and why veteran medicine is so important now more than ever
Dr Alexis Badger is a Specialist General Practitioner and former Australian Army Medical Officer with more than 12 years of experience supporting serving members and veterans across both Defence and civilian healthcare settings. In this episode, Alexis shares her journey through military medicine, the realities of caring for veterans, and why honest, direct communication is critical in a healthcare system that can often feel confusing and overwhelming. She speaks openly about helping veterans better understand the DVA system, access the support they’re entitled to, and regain confidence in managing their health and wellbeing.
The conversation also explores Alexis’ broader mission of service through With You Kenya, the international charity she founded to improve education, health, and community wellbeing in rural Kenya. From leadership lessons learned in the Army to advocating for patient-centred care and better outcomes for veterans, this episode is packed with practical insights, genuine conversation, and an important reminder that good care starts with good communication.
