What is veteran home care?
Veteran home care is support delivered at home and funded by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, separate from the NDIS and the aged care system. It runs through two DVA programs. Veterans’ Home Care (VHC) covers domestic assistance, personal care, respite, and safety-related home and garden maintenance. DVA Community Nursing covers clinical and personal care nursing at home for veterans with more complex health needs. Together they keep eligible veterans in Northern Territory living safely at home, with the cost carried by DVA rather than a Home Care Package or Support at Home budget.
Who it is for and how it is funded
Veteran home care is for holders of a DVA Gold Card, which covers treatment for all health conditions, or a White Card, which covers DVA-accepted conditions and certain mental health and cancer treatment. Eligibility and hours for Veterans’ Home Care are worked out by a VHC Assessment Agency, not through My Aged Care or an aged care assessment, and you can start the process by calling 1300 550 450 (Department of Veterans’ Affairs, 2025). DVA Community Nursing is arranged on referral from your GP or a hospital.
Importantly, DVA home care continues unchanged by the 1 November 2025 move from Home Care Packages to Support at Home, because DVA funding sits outside the aged care system (Department of Veterans’ Affairs, 2025). A veteran can also be assessed separately for Support at Home or the Commonwealth Home Support Programme if they need more than DVA funds, so it is worth checking both.
What veteran home care includes
- Domestic assistance: help with cleaning, laundry and everyday household tasks.
- Personal care: assistance with showering, dressing and grooming.
- Respite care: planned or emergency breaks for a family carer, see our respite care page.
- Safety-related home and garden maintenance: work that keeps the home safe, such as clearing gutters or trip hazards.
- Community nursing: wound care, medication support, continence support and clinical monitoring for Gold Card holders and White Card holders with an accepted condition, covered on our community nursing care page.
Finding veteran home care in Northern Territory
Not every home care provider is set up to bill DVA, so it saves time to confirm this first. It is worth asking a provider in Northern Territory whether they are contracted for Veterans’ Home Care and DVA Community Nursing, how quickly they can start once your VHC assessment is done, and whether they can also coordinate any Support at Home funding you hold. Getting your VHC assessment underway early means a provider can begin without delay.
Questions to ask a veteran home care provider
- Do you deliver DVA Veterans’ Home Care and Community Nursing? Confirm they bill DVA directly, not just aged care funding.
- How soon can you start after my VHC assessment? A good answer is a clear, short timeframe.
- Can you provide the same small team? Continuity matters, especially with personal care and nursing.
- Do you offer respite so my carer gets a break? Check both in-home and overnight options.
- Can you coordinate DVA with any Support at Home funding I have? Useful if DVA hours do not cover everything.
