DVA Admissions

We are pleased to provide a range of services to eligible veterans and war widows, including those listed below.

Veterans Liaison Officer

The hospital has a Veterans’ Liaison Officer (VLO) available to co-ordinate the hospital stay of DVA patients with hospital healthcare providers. The VLO is able to:

• Assist in the co-ordination and streamlining of hospital care
• Refer patients to appropriate services and resources
• Co-ordinate DVA client visiting and information services in conjunction with ex-service organisations
• Provide general health and lifestyle education, and counselling
• Act as a single point of contact for DVA patients, their families and carers, ex-service organisations and the DVA, with particular regard to the resolution of concerns and problems

Veteran accounts and entitlements

If you’re an eligible veteran or war widow/er, you will not have any personal expenses for treatment at Robina Private Hospital and you will not receive an account.

You will, however, be charged for calls to international (ISD) numbers. Local calls are free.

Types of accommodation

All accommodation at Robina Private Hospital is single room with ensuite. There are no shared rooms.

Transport to and from hospital

Some veteran patients are eligible to have transport arranged for them through the Department of Veterans' Affairs.

If your visit to hospital is a planned (elective) admission, you can pre-arrange transport vouchers through your general practitioner to cover your journey to and from hospital.

The Department can be contacted for general enquiries on 133 254, or the local Veterans Affairs Network Offices on 1800 838 372 for further information.

Alternatively, please contact the DVA.
