This blog post aims to break down the essential steps that individuals living with disability in Australia need to take in order to access the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
DVA Home Care Packages
Colbrow Care is a dedicated provider of veteran (DVA) home care packages. Entitlements under Home Care Packages are in addition to those available with your Gold Card. Given the current Home Care Package approval waiting periods, we recommend applying as soon as possible to ensure additional support is available.
Benefits of a DVA Home Care Package
With a Colbrow Care DVA Veterans Home Care Package, you can:
- Keep Your Gold Card: With Colbrow Care Home Care Packages, you can retain your Gold Card and its services while receiving additional support through a Colbrow Care Home Care Package.
- Keep your Colbrow Support Team: Your Colbrow nurse and support team will continue to visit you, looking after you and ensuring continuity of care.
- Expand your Entitlements: Together, we will develop a personalised care plan that meets your needs. Our services include assistance with shopping and food preparation, gardening and cleaning, transport, and respite care.
Eligibility for a Colbrow Care Home Care Package
Please speak with your Colbrow Nurse or contact our office team. A friendly team member will help determine your eligibility and explain how we can optimise your care.
Contact UsHow DVA Home Care Packages Differ from Traditional Home Care Services
DVA home care packages offer a more tailored and comprehensive approach compared to traditional veteran home care services. While traditional home care services typically provide individual support such as personal care, nursing, or domestic assistance separately, DVA home care packages bundle these services together into a customised care plan. This integrated approach ensures that all aspects of a veteran’s health and well-being are addressed, from medical needs to social support and home modifications. By offering a more holistic and personalised care solution, DVA home care packages enhance the quality of life for veterans, providing them with the necessary support to live independently and comfortably in their own homes.

Accessing Colbrow Care’s DVA home care packages is a straightforward process. Veterans or their families can contact Colbrow Care directly to discuss their needs and eligibility.
