The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) has published a series of new factsheets to help veterans, families of veterans, advocates and service providers better understand recent changes, current veteran support arrangements and the work underway to improve access to support.
The factsheets address topics that have generated questions within the veteran community, including:
- changes to allied health arrangements for Veteran Card Holders
- a simpler claims system for the veteran community following the move to the improved Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004 (MRCA)
- DVA's efforts to improve claims processing and provide faster access to support for veterans
- the medicinal cannabis framework and what it means for those receiving DVA-funded treatment.
The factsheets provide key information in a clear and concise format, helping veterans understand what has changed, what remains the same, and where to go for further information and support.
DVA’s Community Questions Answered webpage complements these factsheets, providing clear, reliable information on common questions and areas where there has been confusion or misinformation in the community. The page will continue to be updated as new issues and questions emerge.
Whether you're looking for information about accessing DVA support, trying to better understand recent reforms or checking the facts on issues being discussed in the veteran community, these resources are designed to help.
