Services available to help you to stay independent in your own home.

The Australian Government is committed to supporting older Australians to remain living independently in their home.  These pages provide information on the services available through DVA for DVA clients.

The veteran’s guide to living independently booklet has been developed to help you understand the services and supports available. You can view this online or order a hardcopy to be delivered to your home, from the aged care resources page of the website.

We appreciate those family members, acquaintances and friends who provide care to help our veterans remain independent.  To assist you we have put together some information to help you in your role as a carer.  A carer is anyone who provides everyday assistance to another person.  To find out more, visit Information for Carers.
