DVA's number one priority is the health and safety of the Australian Veteran Community.

To assist with ensuring this, members of the veteran community are encouraged to conduct their business online or over the phone wherever possible.

To limit the spread of COVID-19, DVA temporarily suspended face-to-face appointments on Australian Defence Force (ADF) bases, and Veteran Access Network offices and shopfronts.

Service delivery continued to be available to veterans, their families and transitioning ADF personnel via telephone and online through MyService.

With the easing of isolation measures, face-to-face services and support from DVA staff will has resume at our most accessed locations — the Veteran Access Network offices and on ADF bases through Veteran Support Officers.

We will continue to uphold the recommended social distancing measures within our offices and shopfronts to ensure the health and safety of the veteran community and our staff.

Face to Face services and support are provided via pre-arranged booked interviews only.

Persons attending the office must follow all COVID-19 precautionary measures.
