A common question we are asked by Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA) Card Holders is…
…Am I entitled to a Government Subsidised Home Care Package as well as, my DVA benefits?
Many DVA card holders don’t know that yes, they are entitled to both so long as they don’t double-up on services.
DVA card holders can apply for a Home Care Package through the My Aged Care (MAC) website or by telephoning MAC on 1800 200 422.
One of our lovely Registered Nurses, Jenny Smith has lots of really valuable information on the different benefits with the DVA card. She explains, what DVA card holders are entitled to and how it works in conjunction with a Home Care Package. Click here to read it now!
If you don’t hold a DVA card…perhaps you know an Elder who does and can forward this blog webpage to them so they don’t miss out on valuable benefits.
If Jenny’s DVA information has been helpful or you have questions, feel free to leave a comment below and we will get back to you!
Warmly,

This creates open pathways in communication and gives DVA holders and their families acess to closing gaps in various types of design your own care to suit individual needs. Well done by everyone. Louise health carer.
Great comments Louise. Thanks so much for taking the time to share.
Very in formative, will pass on the information on to my clients on the coast.
Brilliant Margaret, we need to get the word out so more people can benefit from the services that are available. We really appreciate your comment and the fact that you will be sharing the info.
My Client has many services through DVA, including house cleaning, installation of hand rails inside and outside, recliner chair, memory cushions, supply of shower and toilet chairs and recently all the windows cleaned and gutterings cleared for a minimal fee which was a great help
That’s great to hear Jackie. It’s lovely to know people are getting the help they need. Plus the fact that they aren’t restricted from applying for an In Home package is also a bonus. Thanks so much for sharing.
Extremely informative reference for future use thanks so much Jenny.
