DVA Mobile Service Centre Desert Rose

DVA has partnered with Services Australia to give veterans and their families in rural and remote areas face-to-face access to DVA and Services Australia services through the Mobile Services Centre (MSC) pilot.

They can assist you with:

registering and using the agency’s online services
new claims for Centrelink payments
updating and confirming Centrelink and Medicare information
information on how financial matters may impact on payments
assistance with payment and service options
rural payment entitlements for eligible farmers
non-cash Medicare transactions
enrolling for and issuing new Medicare cards
updating and re-issuing Medicare cards
social work support and referrals.

What is the Mobile Service Centre (MSC)?
The MSC is essentially an 'office on wheels' that travels to rural and regional locations throughout Australia. The Services Australia staff on board the MSCs have been trained by DVA and can provide information about DVA services as well as assisted access to online services.
