DVA Support Services
The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Community Nursing services help eligible DVA clients receive care in the comfort of their own home.
If you are a health professional, you can access the DVA Community Nursing Referral form below.
Who can receive these services?
All veterans, war widows and widowers with a Veteran Gold Card can receive DVA-funded Community Nursing services. Some Veteran White Card holders may also be eligible for DVA‑funded Community Nursing services if they meet the criteria.
If you think you could benefit from Community Nursing services, you can contact either:
your local doctor
a nurse practitioner in community services
a doctor in a hospital where you are receiving treatment
the person who will be managing your discharge from hospital.
