Have your say on aged care services and supports

BATTLE OF BRITAIN ‘LACE’

Veterans and their families are encouraged to complete a short survey to share their experiences accessing aged care services and supports, and provide suggestions for further improvement. 

Navigating aged care services can be challenging and confusing for veterans and their families. The survey aims to better understand the needs of aging veterans and help to tailor and improve our service offerings. 

DVA offers a range of care services that can help you stay in your home or support your return home after a hospital stay. These services also help your carer, or can guide your move into residential aged care. 

The survey can be completed on the DVA website. It should only take around 10 minutes to complete, depending on your answers. 

Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and responses will be anonymous. 

To participate in the survey, visit www.dva.gov.au/aac-survey
