The DVA rehabilitation program is providing assistance to veterans to achieve their employment goals, whether they are starting fresh, changing direction or returning to work.
If you are a veteran with medical capacity to engage in work-related activities, the DVA rehabilitation program offers tailored support to assist you to undertake vocational rehabilitation activities.
This may include vocational counselling and assessments, recognition of prior learning, job-seeking assistance, vocational courses or retraining, worksite assessments and trials, and even employer wage subsidies to support your transition into the workforce.
As part of your rehabilitation plan, DVA can connect you with a rehabilitation consultant in your community. Together, you’ll explore your existing strengths and transferable skills, and identify the practical, personalized steps to help you secure or maintain suitable employment.
Even if you are not yet ready to engage in vocational activities, the DVA Rehabilitation Program can support you to manage your medical or social well-being needs
