Navigating aged care as a veteran

Navigating the aged care system in Australia can be confusing at the best of times, let alone adding the complexity of being a veteran and having unique health complications from national service.

There's a range of options if you're looking for aged care support services specifically aimed at veterans. You want to be assured that your needs are being met, whether that is through the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) or through the Australian Government's aged care system.

The DVA provides a number of basic aged care services to veterans and war widows/ers who are eligible for low care services in their home or community.
