DVA Attendant Care
Experienced, personalised support for veterans since 2017
Your Way Support Services (YWSS) has been providing DVA-funded Attendant Care since 2017, supporting veterans to remain safe, independent and supported in their own homes and communities.
Based in Moreton Bay, we provide personalised Attendant Care ranging from regular assistance with everyday activities through to complex, high-needs and 24/7 support arrangements.
We believe good support starts with understanding the individual — their routines, preferences, needs and the people they want around them.
Your Support. Your Choice. Your Way.

What is DVA Attendant Care?
DVA Attendant Care provides eligible veterans with assistance to manage essential personal care and everyday activities where support is required as a result of an accepted service-related condition.
Depending on the veteran's individual circumstances and DVA approval, Attendant Care may assist with activities such as:
- Personal hygiene and showering
- Dressing and grooming
- Toileting and personal care
- Eating and drinking
- Mobility and transfers
- Assistance with approved daily activities
- Other personal support approved by DVA
Every veteran's circumstances and DVA approval are different.
YWSS works with the veteran, their family or representative, and relevant professionals to understand their approved supports and establish an individualised support arrangement.
