The program's primary objective is to effectively manage community support and home care programs, including the development and review of policy and operational guidelines and procedures, and assessment of program effectiveness. Veteran community care and support programs include the Veterans' Home Care (VHC) Program and the Community Nursing Program. The objectives of the VHC and Community Nursing programs are to support clients to remain independent in their homes, and improve their quality of life and health. For many of the veteran community who are ageing and increasingly requiring higher levels of service, the provision of these services helps to delay entry into residential aged care and maximises independence. DVA also provides subsidies and supplements for clients who are no longer able to live independently and who enter residential aged care. Program 2.4 also funds a range of grants programs to assist in providing support to veterans and their families, including the Veteran and Community Grants Program; Grants-in-Aid; and the Supporting Younger Veterans Grants Program. It also includes the Veteran Wellbeing Centres grants, which provide one-off funding for the development and implementation of 6 Veteran Wellbeing Centres to provide services and support based on local needs and opportunities (3.2).

Treasury Outcome 1 contributes to the above programs by making payments to the states and territories under National Partnership agreements, National Specific Purpose Payments (SPP) and bilateral agreements that support the delivery of the programs.
