First ‘DVA Services’ video launched
DVA is launching a new series of videos highlighting the various services and support the department offers the veteran community.
The first of these is now available. It looks at the experiences of Warren – a sergeant in the Royal Australian Air Force and Defence Service Homes (DSH) Insurance policyholder. On 31 October 2020, Warren and his family were at home when a freak hailstorm hit their Brisbane suburb. The hailstones were the size of cricket balls and, while no one was hurt, the storm destroyed the roofs of dozens of homes, including Warren’s.
The video shows stark footage of the hailstorm and the impact it had on the quiet suburban neighbourhood. To view the video, click on the logo below.
While the hailstorm itself and the task of rebuilding were stressful, Warren found making a claim with DSH Insurance to be easy and the response quick and effective.
DSH Insurance is currently providing the same responsiveness to claims from people affected by the flooding in Queensland and New South Wales.
Established more than a century ago, DSH Insurance offers Defence-focused insurance expertise and competitively priced home building insurance to current and former Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel who have served even one day (including reservists, peacekeepers, widow(er)s of ADF members). It is self-funded through the premiums paid by policyholders. DSH Insurance also provides access to personal insurance products such as contents, motor vehicle and caravan insurance through an agreement with QBE (Australia).
Visit the DSH Insurance website for more information.

The DVA Services series will be available on DVA TV, which has been established to raise awareness of the support and services we offer, share veterans’ stories, and commemorate and recognise their service to our nation.
