DVA services during east coast flooding
Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by the rain and floods in Queensland. Falls in excess of 200 mm have been recorded and flooding is already occurring in some catchments.
DVA offices
Due to the floods there have been some temporary office closures. Online and telephone services remain operational.
The Open Arms Veterans & Families Counselling office in Maroochydore is closed today. Our Veteran Access Network office in Maroochydore is still open at this stage but we are monitoring the weather and roads.
Our offices in Cannon Hill, Spring Hill and Broadbeach remain open.
Our office in Ipswich is closed today for Ipswich Show Day.
