Health support

We may issue you a card to reduce costs of health care, medicine, transport or energy. It may also cover care overseas. We offer job support and help to build social networks. We can also support you to stay at home, or guide a move into aged care.

We are working to identify and address advertisements that may mislead you about DVA health care services. Visit our newsroom for more information.
