What Veterans & Families Say

"After 30 years in the Army, I never expected to need help. The GNA team made it easy to accept—they're respectful, efficient, and understand what veterans have been through. The VHC domestic help has been a real blessing."

"Dad served in Vietnam and needed wound care at home. The DVA Community Nursing through GNA has been excellent. The nurse is gentle, thorough, and Dad actually looks forward to her visits. No cost to us either."

Daughter of Veteran, Sydney

"I care for my husband who served in the Navy. The VHC respite care gives me a few hours to myself each week. It's made all the difference to my own wellbeing. GNA handles all the DVA paperwork, which is a huge relief."

DVA Veteran Support FAQs

GNA is an approved DVA provider for <strong>Veterans' Home Care (VHC)</strong>, <strong>DVA Community Nursing</strong>, and services under the <strong>Rehabilitation Appliances Program (RAP)</strong>. We support veterans with Gold Cards and White Cards across Australia.

Most DVA services have <strong>no out-of-pocket cost</strong> for eligible veterans. Veterans' Home Care, Community Nursing, and many other services are billed directly to DVA. A very small co-payment may apply for some VHC services in certain circumstances, but for most veterans, it's completely free.

A <strong>Gold Card</strong> covers all health conditions (service-related or not), while a <strong>White Card</strong> covers only conditions accepted by DVA as service-related. Gold Card holders can access all DVA health services; White Card holders can access services for their specific accepted conditions, plus mental health and cancer treatment.

To access VHC, call the <strong>VHC Assessment Agency on 1300 550 450</strong>. They'll conduct a phone assessment to determine your needs and approved hours. Once approved, you can choose GNA as your provider, or call us on <strong>1300 133 633</strong> and we'll help coordinate the process.

In some cases, yes. If DVA services don't fully meet your needs, you may be able to access additional support through <strong>CHSP</strong> or <strong>Support at Home</strong>. We can help you navigate the best combination of funding sources. Many veterans use DVA for clinical care and Community Nursing while accessing other programs for additional domestic support.
