Self-funded support for veterans in WA

What is a self-funded veterans’ support?  

Self-funded support means you privately pay for veteran support services, giving you the freedom to choose what you need and when you start. It’s a great option if you: 

• Are waiting for a Veterans’ Home Care (VHC) program approval, referrals or assessments 
• Need help but don’t meet criteria for government-funded services   
• Want to supplement your existing fund 
• Prefer a more flexible, personalised approach to wellbeing 
• Need short-term, immediate, or ongoing support
