Find out more about DVA aged-care services

DVA understands that as you get older, you might need a little more help with some activities of daily life. We also understand that navigating the aged-care system can be challenging for you and your family. DVA has developed two new books to help: 

The veteran’s guide to living independently – Accessing DVA services details the services available to help support you at home and their eligibility requirements. Most services are provided quickly, usually within two weeks of an over-the-phone assessment at little to no cost.

If you are moving into an aged-care home, The veteran’s guide to moving into an aged-care home – Accessing DVA services will guide you through this process and provide you with the details of DVA services available once you have moved in.

To download these books or order hardcopies, go to the aged-care resources page on the DVA website dva.gov.au/ac or call DVA on 1800 VETERAN (1800 838 372).
