What we provide
Types of DVA Services
We provide personal care services to eligible DVA clients, helping them maintain independence, dignity, and comfort at home. Our trained care workers assist with daily tasks such as showering, grooming, dressing, toileting, and mobility support.
Each service is tailored to the individual’s needs through a care plan developed with the client’s GP. Our team works respectfully and discreetly, ensuring personal routines are supported in a culturally sensitive and empowering way.
Our DVA-approved community nursing services support veterans with clinical care in the comfort of home. Delivered by qualified Registered and Enrolled Nurses, services include wound care, medication management, catheter and stoma care, PEG feeding, and post-hospital recovery.
Care is based on a GP referral and guided by a personalised plan. We collaborate with your healthcare team and review care regularly to meet changing needs.
Our nurses are AHPRA-registered and follow best-practice standards. We ensure all support is professional, respectful, and responsive to your individual goals.
