Health Education and Self-Care

Education for veterans and their families to help manage health conditions and support long-term wellbeing.

About Health Education and Self-Care Service

Understanding one’s health is an important part of maintaining independence and wellbeing. Health education and self-care support help veterans develop the knowledge and confidence needed to manage their health safely at home.

At Valour Health Services, our community nurses provide practical guidance and education tailored to each individual’s needs. We help clients better understand their health conditions, medications, and lifestyle factors that may influence their wellbeing.

By empowering veterans with clear information and supportive guidance, we help them make informed decisions about their health and develop routines that promote long-term wellbeing and independence.

Individuals learning to manage new diagnoses or treatment plans
Veterans who would benefit from guidance on healthy routines and self-care

Accessing This Service Through DVA

Community nursing assessments may be available to eligible veterans through the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Community Nursing Program. In most cases, a referral from a General Practitioner (GP) or healthcare professional is required before services can begin. Once a referral is received, our nursing team will arrange an assessment to determine the type and level of care required. If you are unsure about eligibility or how to begin the referral process, our team at Valour Health Services is happy to provide guidance and assistance.
