Premium Service. Quality Care. Bespoke Support.
The Veterans’ Home Care (VHC) Program provides practical help at home so you can continue to live independently. It is not designed to meet complex or high-level care needs.
You are eligible for an assessment if you have a Veteran Gold Card or Veteran White Card for an accepted service-related injury or condition.
Carers and family members of Gold Card and White Card holders with an accepted service-related condition may be eligible for an assessment.
You may be able to receive domestic support, personal care or respite care.
Domestic support includes:
- Light housekeeping and household chores
- Meal planning and preparation
- Paying bills and assisting with technology
- Running errands and grocery shopping
- Prompting medications
- Walking, exercising and reading
Respite care includes:
- In-home respite – allows your loved one to have a break while another carer comes into the home to take over the caring role.
- Emergency short-term home relief – provides short-term care in the home when the carer is suddenly unable to provide care.
Personal care includes:
- Showering, dressing and grooming
- Toileting and hygiene
- Meal preparation and eating
- Assistance with mobility
- Support recovering from an illness or injury
How to access Veterans’ Home Care
- Call a VHC Assessment Agency directly on 1300 550 450 to have an assessment for services. The assessment is usually done over the phone.
- The Assessor will talk to you about your situation at home and identify services you may need.
- The services you need will be detailed in a VHC care plan, which will be sent to you and your VHC service provider. The VHC care plan includes:
– Details of what is approved
– The period of approval
– The co-payment amount
– Your service provider
– Your assessment agency - On selecting Prestige Inhome Care, we will call you to set a suitable time to provide services.
Once services are in place, you will be reassessed every 6 to 9 months by your VHC Assessment Agency.
