Coordinated Veterans’ Care (CVC) Training and Resources

As a GP, nurse or other health provider, you can access training to help you deliver the Coordinated Veterans’ Care (CVC) Program and support veterans and their families.

Health providers can also access the training resources developed by the Australian Government to assist you to deliver medical services to all Australians.

Further information on DVA and other Australian Government resources is provided below.

Health providers may also reach out to their local Primary Health Network for information on available training.

CVC Program resources

The Notes for the CVC Program (Notes) set out the legal requirements for those delivering the CVC Program including:

• GPs
• Care Coordinators, who can be either the GP themselves or a:
  • Practice Nurse
  • DVA-contracted Community Nursing Provider
  • Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Worker

GPs and Care Coordinators delivering the CVC Program must familiarise themselves with the Notes to ensure compliance with program requirements.
