Who qualifies?

Who qualifies
Carry On (Victoria) supports Ex-Servicemen and Women, and their families, across all divisions of the Australian Defence Force veteran community. We provide support for the veterans themselves, as well as for their partners, children, and grandchildren. This multi-generational approach acknowledges the lasting impact of experiences had during service, not only on the individual but also on their closest companions and family members.

Eligibility
All Ex-Servicemen and Women and their family members are eligible to make an application for support. This includes the veteran themselves, as well as their partners and other family members.

To apply, applicants need to provide proof of the veteran’s service, which can be done by submitting the following with the application:

  • ADF Service Number (PMkeyS)
  • Official confirmation of date service commenced and concluded.
  • Any other forms that provide evidence of service – such as a DVA card, or a discharge certificate for example.

How to apply
If you or someone you know is experiencing hardship and could be eligible or entitled to support from us, please fill out the online application form below.

Copies of eligibility documents can be emailed to us at [email protected] or posted to;

8/1 Elizabeth Street Melbourne 3000.  (Copies only – originals may not be returned).


If you have any questions about your eligibility, the proof of service requirements or your application in general, please feel free to get in touch with us.

    Now, it is my turn to "pay it forward". My circumstances were unique, as is the case with anyone
