Support for Younger Veterans in Residential Care
PDF 1.5MB
With support from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA), a number of Ex-Service Organisations (ESO’s) in Victoria have formalised an agreement to work together to support younger veterans living in, or needing to be admitted to, residential care.
This initiative recognised that, although the numbers are not large, in certain situations some younger veterans (those of 65 years of age and under) with special needs, require a level of care that cannot be provided in the community.
The primary aims of the group of ESOs are to support the younger veteran and his/her family though the process of accessing care services, and to ensure that care providers understand the special care needs of younger veterans and their families.
The brochure provides further information about this program, including contact details and referral form.
