In response to the Australian National Aged Care Classification (AN-ACC) funding model (introduced on 1 October 2022), the change includes a prompt for clinicians to first check if the DVA client is funded by the facility to supply nutritional supplements, before requesting funding through DVA.
Consistent with their individual care plan, DVA residents in a Residential Aged Care Facility (RACF) should be supplied nutritional supplements by their RACF provider.
To support fair and equitable funding, Veteran card holders in a RACF are only eligible for DVA funding through the Repatriation Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme for nutritional supplements where other funding does not exist.
Access DVA’s updated D9165 Nutritional Supplementation request form or see Frequently Asked Questions: Residential Aged care changes effective 1 October 2022.
For further information about DVA funded nutritional supplements, please contact the Veterans’ Affairs Pharmaceutical Advisory Centre on 1800 552 580 or at ppo@dva.gov.au.
