DVA Veterans' Home Care Services

The Veterans’ Home Care (VHC) Program is an initiative of the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) that provides practical in-home support to eligible veterans and war widows so they can remain living independently in their own home. These home care services are designed to assist with everyday household tasks, safety, and wellbeing.

HomeFront is a contracted VHC Service Provider and delivers DVA home care services under the VHC Program in most locations across Australia.

To access VHC, please discuss your in-home care and support needs with your VHC Assessment Agency by contacting them on 1300 550 450.

How Do I Access Services Under the VeteransHome Care Program?

VHC services are assessed and allocated by VHC Assessment Agencies and delivered by contracted VHC Service Providers such as HomeFront.

The process is straightforward:

  1. Call the VHC Assessment Agency on 1300 550 450 to arrange an assessment.
  2. A VHC assessor will discuss your circumstances to determine the types of support required.
  3. If support is required, the VHC Assessment Agency will issue a VHC Care Plan to you that outlines:
    • The service/s and frequency
    • Any applicable service type co-payment
    • The  VHC Service Provider allocated to deliver the service/s.
  4. Your allocated VHC Service Provider will contact you to arrange suitable times for service delivery.
  5. The VHC Assessment Agency will reassess your needs every 6 months to ensure services continue to meet your needs.

If your circumstances change, for example, due to illness, injury or increased care needs, you can contact the VHC Assessment Agency  to review your services.

If you have concerns about the services you are receiving, contact your VHC Service Provider directly.
