What you can request
DVA gardening that starts with the actual job
Veterans, family members, representatives and service coordinators can send an initial enquiry. We review the garden and capacity before asking whether the request relates to Veterans’ Home Care or approved DVA Household Services.
Melbourne requests are reviewed against the veteran’s applicable DVA pathway, the practical garden tasks and current local capacity before any funded service is discussed.
DVA-funded gardening is not automatic. Veterans’ Home Care provides limited safety-related home and garden maintenance through contracted providers. DVA Household Services compensation may include lawn mowing or gardening for an accepted service-related condition after approval, with the veteran choosing a provider that meets DVA requirements. Mercando does not claim to be a contracted VHC provider.
Garden upkeep
Practical weeding, pruning and maintenance suited to the property and arrangement.
Home and garden support
Gardening enquiries can be coordinated with the veteran, representative or relevant service contact.
Planned visits
One-off or recurring options depend on approval, scope and gardener availability.

Useful before you enquire
Frequently asked questions
No. Gardening support depends on individual eligibility, assessment and either the Veterans’ Home Care or Household Services pathway.
Veterans’ Home Care uses contracted providers for limited safety-related maintenance. Household Services is a compensation support that may let an approved veteran choose a suitable provider after DVA approval.
Yes. A veteran, family member, representative or service coordinator can start the conversation.
Yes, but an enquiry does not confirm funding or a booking. Any required DVA approval must be established before funded work begins.
