Care: Supporting Navy

Care:  supporting Navy and ex-Navy men and women.

We aim to provide support by assisting to:
  • put you and/or your family in contact with the right service provider
  • assist with compensation claims where it is service related, and
  • provide informal advice on matters relating to transition out of Navy.
What is in place:
  • ​Network.
 We have a small number of Advocates established into a national network of Military Compensation Officers and Welfare Officers.
  • Training
 Each of these Officers is appropriately qualified through attendance at approved training / development programs.
  • Accreditation
 All accredited Officers act on behalf of the Naval Association and offer their services free of charge.
  • Referral
 Where appropriate you will be referred to government agencies, other Ex-Service organisations or community-based organisations for assistance.
  • Visitations
 Shipmates also visit members at their home, in hospital or nursing homes (where practical).

A DVA Handy Billy for Veterans.

The Queensland Section has gone to great lengths to produce this Handy Billy containing a wealth of information outlining Gold and White Card holders eligability for available service that will assist these card holders to maintain and possibly improve their current standard of wellbeing.
