Wellbeing Resources

Supporting carers is an important part of supporting the wellbeing of veterans and families. 

Domestic and family violence can take many forms, and support is available for veterans, families, and anyone affected. If you need help, there are safe, confidential services that can support you at your own pace. 

Leaving the hospital is an important step in recovery, and having the right information and support can help you feel safer and more confident at home. Veterans and families may be able to access follow-up care, community services, and practical support after discharge.

Affordable local transport can help eligible veterans and families get to essential appointments and activities when other travel options are difficult.

Access to childcare can make a big difference to family wellbeing.

Support for your emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing through Chaplains.

Changing schools can be a big adjustment at any stage. Support is available to help families manage these changes.

Aged care can be a major life change, but support is available to help veterans and families understand their options and access the care they need. Help may be available through My Aged Care, DVA-funded services, counselling, advocacy and support for carers.

Employment after military service can bring challenges, but support is available to help veterans and families find, return to, or stay in work. Help may include career planning, job searching, training, and support to balance work with health or caring responsibilities.
