DVA’s Community Nursing Services - A Guide for veterans, family members and carers

The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Community Nursing services help you receive care in the comfort of your own home.

Nursing services can include:

• Caring for Wounds
• Helping with medication
• Helping after an operation or a stay in hospital
• Helping with other tasks if there is a clinical need
• Helping with day-to-day activities, like showering, going to the toilet and dressing.
• All veterans, war widows and widowers with a Gold Card can use DVA-funded Community Nursing services. Some White Card holders may also be eligible for DVA-funded Community Nursing services if they meet the criteria.

DVA have a great online resource for more information about Community Nursing Services and how to access the service.
