Guide for Use

Code G Gold
A Gold card entitles the card holder to DVA funding for services for all clinically necessary health care needs, and all health conditions, whether they are related to war service or not. The card holder may be a veteran or the widow/widower or dependant of a veteran. Only the person named on the card is covered.

Code O Orange
A DVA orange card enables the holder to access the range of pharmaceutical items available under the Repatriation Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (RPBS). The orange card is for pharmaceuticals only, and cannot be used for any medical or other health care treatment.

Code W White
A White card entitles the card holder to care and treatment for accepted injuries or conditions that are war caused or service related, malignant cancer, pulmonary tuberculosis, posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety and/or depression whether war caused or not, or the symptoms of unidentifiable conditions that arise within 15 years of service (other than peacetime service).
