How to startQuestions Families Often Ask
Is there a cost to me?
No. If you are eligible, DVA funds the Community Nursing services we deliver, so there is no cost to you.
Do I need a referral?
Yes. You need a written referral from your GP, a hospital doctor or discharge planner, or a nurse practitioner. They send it directly to us.
How often will a nurse visit?
Visits are based on your assessed clinical need. After your first assessment, your nurse sets out how often they will visit in your written care plan.
Can my family be present?
Of course. Family members and carers are welcome at every visit, and we are happy to include them in planning your care.
Are war widows and widowers eligible?
Yes. War widows and widowers who hold a Veteran Gold Card can receive Community Nursing services for their assessed clinical need.
Ready to arrange nursing at home?
Referrals can come from a GP, a hospital discharge planner or a nurse practitioner.
