Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA)
Did you know that the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) will fund VitalCALL to eligible Gold and White Card holders? If your family member has a clinically assessed need, they could be eligible to receive VitalCALL at no charge to them to remain safe and independent in their own home.
How does DVA funding for emergency alarms work?
VitalCALL has been providing emergency alert devices to the Department of Veterans’ Affairs for over 17 years. We’re part of the Rehabilitation Appliances Program (RAP) that provides funding for personal emergency alarms.
To receive DVA funding, you will first need:
- A referral from a Health Care Professional
- A D9199 form completed during an in-home assessment by an Occupational Therapist
- Once VitalCALL receives the order, we’ll contact your patient to arrange a suitable time for one of our representatives to visit their home and install their VitalCALL
What should I do next?
If your family member is DVA eligible, you should first speak to their doctor or Healthcare Professional about being referred to VitalCALL.
To find out more about DVA funding eligibility, you can contact the Department of Veterans’ Affairs on 133 254, or visit the DVA website www.dva.gov.au
Other types of funding
Certain states and territories also have schemes that may enable you to receive VitalCALL at a discounted price or free of charge.
