Consistent workers, familiar routines, and time taken to listen.
Unity Aid is committed to providing reliable, dignified and person-centred support to veterans, war widows and their families.
Every veteran’s situation is different, and so is the support that fits it.
Please contact our team to discuss available veteran support services, eligibility and current service arrangements.
Unity Aid works with veterans and war widows, with the families and carers who arrange support around them, and with the GPs, hospitals, allied health professionals and discharge planners who send referrals.

Unity Aid provides four areas of support for veterans, war widows and their families. What suits one household rarely suits the next, so each one is arranged around the person receiving it.
Personal care, assistance with daily routines, mobility support, meal assistance, and continence assistance.
Cleaning, laundry, bed linen changes, shopping assistance, and basic household tasks.
Companionship, community outings, appointments, shopping, and social connection.
In-home respite, support for family carers, and scheduled short-term assistance.
Our team is here to listen, answer your questions and explain what may be available for your situation. A phone call is often the quickest way to start.
