Outreach in South Australia
The Outreach program in South Australia provides information on Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) benefits and entitlements to assist the veteran community in accessing health and other community services. The aim of the program is to promote and maintain self-sufficiency, well-being and quality of life amongst members of the veteran community.
Outreach services are provided to the veteran communities in metropolitan and regional South Australia. In the lead up to visits posters are distributed in the community and letters are sent to clients.

Services include a trial of offering individual appointments outside of metropolitan Adelaide.
