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
As you can see, the VLO has an important role to fill and if you feel that the hospital has not met its obligations to provide this service then ensure you advise DVA. If DVA do not provide a satisfactory response then advise State Office.
