The government funded Veterans Home Care Program is in recognition of all that our Veterans have given. It provides for practical support so you can stay independent in your own home and we’re here to help you to live your life as you choose.
We can help you with
- Domestic Assistance
- Personal Care
- In Home Respite
Assessment for funding
If you are eligible, you will need to have an assessment with a Veterans Home Care Assessment Agency:
- assessments can be completed by phone, or home assessment if that is deemed to be more beneficial to the entitled person or representative
- A Veterans Home Care assessor will discuss the entitled person’s circumstances to identify the range of services that may be needed
- If there is an assessed need for services, the assessor will arrange services to meet that assessed need
The Veterans Home Care Programme has a national telephone number, which connects callers to an Assessment Agency in their location. To contact Veterans Home Care for an assessment, call 1300 550 450.
