As you move from the ADF to civilian life, DVA may help with benefits and supports such as: 

When DVA may be useful 

DVA may be helpful if you want support with health care after service, or if you are looking into compensation or rehabilitation related to your service. 

Some people connect with DVA before leaving the ADF. Others do it later, when support feels more relevant or new needs come up. 

How we can help 

If you are not sure whether DVA is right for you yet, that is okay.  

We can help you understand your options, think about what support might be most useful first, and find the right information. 

This may include helping you work out what feels most important right now, such as health, money, family wellbeing, housing, work or general transition support. 

If you are not sure where to start, connect with a Veteran and Family Support Officer to get some guidance.
