DVA Gym Program
Here is a photo from the gym this morning of local veterans taking advantage of the program available from DVA and if you're not aware of the program the following is an overview and if you are interested contact your Wellbeing officer for details. The DVA Gym Program is an initiative run by the Australian Government Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) to support the health and wellbeing of eligible veterans and some dependants. It provides clinically supervised exercise programs designed to improve strength, mobility, fitness, and overall physical and mental health. Participants receive an individualised exercise plan created by qualified health professionals, such as exercise physiologists or physiotherapists, based on their specific needs and medical conditions. The program is typically available to veterans with certain accepted service-related conditions, and access requires a referral from a GP or specialist along with DVA approval. Overall, the DVA Gym Program aims to help veterans maintain independence, recover from injury, and enhance quality of life through safe, structured physical activity.
