The Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) Community Nursing Program provides veterans and war widows access to a wonderful range of quality health care and other services.
Port Macquarie Disability & Nursing Services work closely with DVA to assess, implement and deliver the optimum level of nursing care that you or your family member deserves. The purpose of the program is to provide community nursing services to eligible individuals in order to meet their clinical and personal care needs. Veterans and war widows who hold a Gold Card are eligible for the service, while veterans with a White Card may also be eligible if the condition needing nursing care is deemed war-related by DVA.
Our aim for this program is to help maintain the independence, quality of life and health outcomes of veterans and their widows by preventing admission to hospital and or residential aged care facilities by providing exceptional community nursing services and personal care services within the comfort of your own home.
To receive DVA community nursing, the entitled person must obtain a referral from their GP or the Hospital Discharge Planner. Click below to download the DVA Community Nursing Referral form.
Following this referral, Our DVA Care Coordinator will liaise with you to arrange a convenient time to complete a comprehensive community nursing assessment by a highly experienced and dedicated Registered Nurse.
Port Macquarie Disability & Nursing Services offer a wide variety of Community Nursing services designed to maintain the health and well being of the entitled veteran or widow. All services offered are tailored to meet your or your loved ones individual care needs.
It is our mission to develop & implement personal, individual and exceptional care which has been created on your needs, values and current aspirations. We take pride in individualising care to all of our patients and we look forward to caring for you or your loved one.
