DVA Community Nursing
If you are a veteran of the Australian Defence Forces, or a war widow or widower, The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) provides a Community Nursing Program with access to community nursing services to meet your assessed clinical and personal care needs. This DVA Community Nursing Program is completely free and helps veterans stay healthy and independent by avoiding unnecessary hospital stays or needing to move into a care facility. Highly trained Registered Nurses, Enrolled Nurses, and Home Support Workers provide this care right in the comfort of veterans’ homes.
