The Australian Government created the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) in 1976 to support war veterans and their families with numerous services, including community-based health care.
The Community Nursing Program – provided by the DVA – is now a well-established service in Australia and one highly recommended to eligible people to gain high-quality clinical care from professionally-trained nurses.
The program’s purpose is to ensure any war veterans or eligible family members receiving care can retain their independence, quality of life and good health, all from the comfort of home.
