🎉Just a quick heads-up for our clients in New South Wales and the Northern Territory.

Monday, 3 August marks two public holidays across Australia: the NSW Bank Holiday and the NT's Picnic Day.

Whether you're making the most of a long lunch, packing a picnic basket, or spending time with family, we hope you have a great day.

Please note, some HomeFront services may be affected while some providers pause for the public holiday.

As always, service availability may vary depending on local arrangements. Some providers may continue operating as usual, but if your regular service is impacted, there's nothing you need to do. Services will return to their normal schedule from Tuesday, 4 August.

And for those celebrating Picnic Day, may the weather be kind, the tea stay warm, and the ants leave your sandwiches alone. 🧺☀️

DVA Household Services Update – What Veterans Need to Know

From the 1st of July 2026, changes to DVA legislation mean some veterans may now be eligible to apply for Household Services (HHS) or Attendant Care (AC) for the first time, with all new claims assessed under the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act (MRCA).

So, what does this mean?

✅ Eligible veterans may now be able to access Household Services based on their service-related injuries and individual needs, rather than the previous Veterans' Home Care (VHC) arrangements.

✅ Unlike VHC, approved Household Services under MRCA do not have co-payments or fixed annual service limits, providing greater flexibility to meet individual circumstances.

It's important to know that nothing changes automatically.

If you're currently receiving services through the Veterans' Home Care (VHC) program, your existing services remain in place unless you make a new claim that is approved by the Department of Veterans' Affairs.

HomeFront Australia will continue to deliver services under both VHC and Household Services, and we're here to help you understand your options and navigate any changes with confidence.

If you're unsure how these changes may affect you or a family member, our team is happy to help.

Winter left your hedges looking a little untidy?

Uneven growth, dead branches and the odd stray shoot can look a sight. Luckily, spring's around the corner so it’s trim time! Before you reach for the trimmer check out below.

✂️ Cutting back too much can affect healthy new growth
✂️ Uneven trimming can leave your hedge looking patchy for months
✂️ Using the wrong tools can damage branches and make the job much harder

Beyond keeping your hedges looking their best, think about your safety:

🤕 Shoulder injury - working with your arms raised for extended periods, can place significant strain on recovering or injured shoulders. If you've had a shoulder injury or reconstruction, be cautious.

🤕 Ladders - think about balance, knee and ankle stability, and whether your back has enough mobility to react if you lose your footing.

Because falls or re-injury is something no one wants, take the guesswork out and leave it to us.

HomeFront is ready to keep your greenery looking perfectly pruned and you healthy and happy.

🎡 Planning for the Darwin Show? So are we.

The Darwin Show Public Holiday falls on Friday, 24 July, and whether you're heading to the Show for the rides, the showbags, the food stalls, we hope you make the most of the day.

Please note, some HomeFront services may be affected while providers take the opportunity to join locals at the Show.

As always, service availability may vary depending on local arrangements. Some providers may continue operating as usual, while others may pause for the public holiday.

If your regular service is impacted, there's nothing you need to do. Services will return to their normal schedule from Monday, 27 July.

And if you happen to come home with more showbags than you planned, you're certainly not the first. 🎠🍭

For any questions, our team is always happy to help.

Some kitchen jobs are easier to stay on top of when someone gives you a hand.

Whether our HomeFront team visits weekly or fortnightly, we can help with the bigger cleaning tasks that keep your kitchen fresh, hygienic, and ready to use.

Then, between visits, a few simple habits can make everyday cleaning feel much more manageable.

🧽 Wipe benches and the stovetop after cooking while spills are still fresh.
🧽 Use warm, soapy water to stop grease building up on surfaces.
🧽 Give sinks and taps a quick wipe with a microfibre cloth to keep them looking their best.

A little support, combined with a few minutes here and there, can make it much easier to enjoy a clean, welcoming kitchen every day.

Not sure if you qualify?

📢 Did you know you may be entitled to help at home, including lawn mowing, gardening, domestic cleaning, and other household services?

📢 If you have an approved entitlement under MRCA, you may be eligible for the DVA Household Services Program (HHS). To get started, complete a claim form (D9319) with your treating GP:

www.dva.gov.au/sites/default/files/dvaforms/d9319.pdf

📢 If you have an approved entitlement under VEA, you may be eligible for the Veteran Home Care (VHC) Program. To get started, contact a DVA VHC Assessment Agency on 1300 550 450 to arrange an assessment.

📢 Already approved? HomeFront can help coordinate service delivery with no out-of-pocket cost, paperwork, or provider sourcing.

Qualify for DVA Household Services but have no idea where to start?

You’re not alone. The process can feel unfamiliar at first, especially when you're already managing an injury, illness, or a change in capacity.

The good news is that understanding the first few steps can make accessing support much easier to navigate.

🏡 What are DVA Household Services?

DVA Household Services are designed to help reduce the impact an accepted service-related injury or illness may have on your ability to manage everyday household tasks.

Support may be approved for a short period, like during recovery from surgery, or on a longer-term basis of up to five years, depending on individual circumstances.

🏡 How do I find out if I'm eligible?

✅ You have a service-related injury, illness or impairment.

✅ You are a veteran covered under MRCA

🏡 How do I apply for Household Services?

✅ Complete a D9319 Household Services claim form with your GP.

✅ Submit the form to DVA.

✅ DVA will arrange a referral to an Occupational Therapist.

✅ The Occupational Therapist will complete an Activities of Daily Living (ADL) assessment.

✅ The OT will look at how your accepted conditions affect your ability to manage everyday activities around the home and provide recommendations to DVA.

✅ If approved, DVA will issue a Determination Letter outlining the services available to you.

✅ Give the HomeFront team a call and book your services.

If you're accessing support under the Veteran Home Care (VHC) Program, the processes differ and some changes may impact you. Contact DVA on 1300 550 450 for information about assessments and ongoing services.

🎪 SERVICE UPDATE | CAIRNS & KATHERINE SHOW PUBLIC HOLIDAYS 🎪

Just a quick update for our clients in the Cairns and Katherine regions.

The Cairns Show and Katherine Show public holidays fall on Friday, 17 July 2026, and some HomeFront services may be affected as providers take the opportunity to enjoy the local festivities and spend time with family and friends.

Service availability may vary depending on local arrangements. While some providers may continue operating as normal, others may pause services for the day.

If your regular service is impacted, there's nothing you need to do. Services will resume as scheduled from Monday, 20 July 2026.

Regional shows have long been a chance for communities to come together, catch up with familiar faces, support local exhibitors, and enjoy a day that's a little different from the everyday routine.

Whether you're heading to the showgrounds, spending time with family, or simply enjoying a quieter day, we hope you have a safe and enjoyable public holiday.

If you have any questions about your services, our team is always happy to help.

“What’s for dinner?”

Most households ask that question every day, and while some days the answer is easier than others, often it’s not the deciding that’s hard.

It's the shopping and lifting heavy bags. The chopping. Standing at the bench. Reaching for heavy pots. Bending down to the dishwasher for clean-up.

🪣 Lifting.
✋ Gripping.
🚶 Standing.
🙋 Reaching.
🧎Bending.

All things your OT warns you not to do. Five simple words, but when managing injury and illness they become the enemy.

That’s where HomeFront comes in. There’s something reassuring about opening the fridge and knowing a heathy, pre-prepped meal is there, ready to go.

HomeFront can assist with meal preparation in your own home, helping you maintain routines that work for you and your household. All meals prepared to suit your preferences, dietary requirements and daily routine, ready to enjoy now or save for later.

There’s nothing better than climbing into fresh sheets. 🛏️

But changing bedding, carrying laundry and hanging bedding are everyday jobs that can put your back and shoulders at risk.

Sore backs, dodgy shoulders and shifting capacities can turn simple chores into physical hazards.

A few practical adjustments can help make things easier:

✅ Use a mattress lifter to reduce strain when changing sheets. If you have a shoulder injury, take care and work within your comfort level.

✅ Keep laundry baskets and frequently used items at a comfortable height where possible or consider grabbing tools.

✅ Consider a lightweight trolley or wheeled hamper to reduce lifting.

✅ Use a small freestanding drying rack if reaching a clothesline has become difficult.

Sometimes a few small changes are enough.

And when they’re not, the HomeFront team can lend a hand, taking some of the pressure off while keeping your home comfy and clean.

Mowing gets all the attention. Edging is what makes people stop and say, ‘Wow.’

Crisp lines are where it’s at, but it also keeps paths and footfall areas clear. With HomeFront's help you can have the wow and safety factors.

Now, this is a job that takes effort and adds physical strain.

Bending, lifting, and steady control of equipment can quickly add up, especially when dealing with sore backs, tired knees, or changing capacity is something we need to consider.

A little practical help can keep the yard looking sharp without adding extra strain, so give us a call.
