Why are DVA Gardening Services Important?
Professional gardening services can offer numerous benefits to veterans, supporting their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Gardening, as a form of therapeutic activity, can provide a sense of purpose, structure, and connection to nature.
Physical activity is another key advantage. Gardening involves tasks like digging, planting, and pruning, which promotes physical exercise and improves mobility. For veterans with physical injuries, professional gardening services can adapt gardens to suit their needs, creating accessible spaces that allow them to engage comfortably while staying active.
Additionally, professional gardening services can help veterans create sustainable and productive gardens, such as vegetable patches or flower beds. This provides a tangible sense of accomplishment and can foster self-reliance.
How DVA Garden Maintenance Works
Getting started with DVA gardening services is simple. Here are the steps to follow:
Eligibility Check
Accessing DVA services requires meeting specific eligibility criteria designed to support those in need. These services are available to individuals who are unable to manage household tasks due to an accepted service-related injury or condition under the MRCA or DRCA. Additionally, an assessment is required to confirm a genuine need for household assistance.
Filing a Request
Once eligibility has been confirmed, veterans can easily complete a claim form and submit it either via email to [email protected] or by post to GPO Box 9998, Brisbane QLD 4001.
Approval of Services
Once your approval is confirmed, the next steps are simple. Start by selecting a service provider that fits your needs and ensure they have the necessary insurance coverage in place. Arrange service times that work for you, and rest assured that maintaining high service standards is a priority.
Selecting A Service Provider
A suitable service provider is someone who holds an Australian Business Number (ABN), is capable of delivering high-quality services, and has completed all necessary checks, including a Working with Children Check, a Working with Vulnerable People Check and police checks. Our team meets all these requirements and is committed to providing exceptional gardening services with care and professionalism, particularly to support veterans in maintaining their gardens.
Adjustments and Updates
Should veterans’ circumstances change, simply notify DVA so they can continue to provide the best support tailored to your situation.
