- Assistance in the co-ordination and streamlining of your care
- Referral to appropriate services and resources
- Co-ordinate DVA client visiting and information services in conjunction with ex-service organisations
- Act as a single point of contact for DVA patients, their families and carers, ex-service organisations and the DVA with particular regard to the resolution of concerns and problems
- General health and lifestyle education, and counselling
Veteran accounts and entitlements
If you're an eligible veteran or war widow, you won't have any personal expenses for treatment at Currumbin Clinic and you won't receive an account.
You will, however, be charged for pharmacy and personal items not related to your admission diagnosis.
Types of accommodation
Accommodation consists of both private rooms with an ensuite bathroom, and twin share rooms with an ensuite bathroom. Naturally you will share a room with a person of the same gender.
Transport to and from hospital
Some veteran patients are eligible to have transport arranged for them through the DVA.
Patients can pre-arrange transport vouchers with their General Practitioner prior to their admission to cover their journey to and from Hospital.
Alternatively, please speak to hospital staff when organising your discharge. They will assist with your discharge transport arrangements.
