More ways to securely store your Veteran Card

BATTLE OF BRITAIN ‘LACE’

DVA Veteran Card holders with a smart phone or other smart device now have the option to securely store and access their Veteran Gold and White Cards in the myGov app. 

For some, digital cards provide greater convenience and flexibility. So for veterans and families who prefer to use their phone or other smart device to access their health and concessional benefits this is great news!

With in-built protections against fraud and theft, including holograms and QR codes, the myGov app is a safe and secure way to store most government-issued cards and documents. 

DVA clients will need to have a DVA-issued White or Gold Veteran Card, a current MyService account and the myGov app downloaded on their smart phone or device to then access their digital Veteran Card in their myGov wallet. 

Once you have a MyService account and the myGov app, adding your digital card to your myGov wallet is easy. Check out the video below to see how:
