Providing Veterans Home Care

Personalised Veterans Home Care Services

Veterans' Home Care (VHC) is a Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) program designed to assist veterans, war widows and widowers (entitled persons) who need a small amount of practical help to continue living independently in their homes.

At Premium Aged and Community Services, we’re here to ensure veterans and their families receive the care and assistance they deserve. Our head office is in Tamworth and we provide a range of VHC services for clients living in Toowoomba, Woy Woy, Gosford, Wyong, Moree, Gunnedah, Armidale, Quirindi and surrounds. Our services include:

Domestic assistance: Assistance with domestic tasks such as household cleaning, dish washing, laundry needs, changing bed linen, vacuuming and sweeping floors, mopping, dusting and unaccompanied shopping.

In-home respite care: Temporary relief provided to your carer or to you.

Personal care: Low-level support with personal care and dressing

Home maintenance: The focus of home maintenance services is to assist in keeping the home safe and habitable by minimising environmental health and safety hazards that may impact you in and around the home.

VHC is not designed to meet complex or high-level care needs. Veterans may also be eligible for DVA community nursing.

VHC services are subsidised by the Australian Government through the Department of Veterans' Affairs. There is a fee co-payment required to be paid by the program recipient. This will be determined by the VHC assessment agency.
