Information about DVA treatment cards

Changes to DVA cards - March 2010

All Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Repatriation Health Cards (DVA Cards) are due to expire during 2010. Commencing March 2010 DVA will begin reissuing all DVA cards. As part of this reissue there will be some improvements made to DVA cards.

Read more about these changes here.

DVA issues treatment cards to veterans, their war widows and widowers and dependants, to ensure that they have access to health and other care services that promote and maintain self-sufficiency, well-being and quality of life.

These pages give a quick reference for Local Medical Officers (LMOs) GPs and other health providers, to answer common questions when a patient presents with a DVA treatment card.
