New DVA Web Site - What’s new? (From the DVA Web Site) Appearance The test site includes a refreshed, modern design for a more accessible and user-friendly experience. Content The most popular (frequently visited) pages have been revised to make content easier to understand. Service-focused navigation We’ve introduced a service-focused navigation to help you find information quickly. This is based on the strong feedback we received through surveys, workshops and user testing. This navigation makes it easier for you to find important information and complete key tasks. The ‘top menu’ service-focused options are: Access benefits – here you can access key task related pages such as pension and payments, claims and compensation and veteran cards. What we help with – here you can access information about DVA support and services. Recognition and remembrance – here you can learn more about how we recognise and honour of service and sacrifice of the veteran community. Family and dependants – here you can access key information and supports related to family members/dependants Providers – here health professionals can access resources to help in their work to support veterans About us – here you can access corporate information including how to contact DVA, working with us and privacy and legal resources. These menu options can be accessed by going to ‘Menu’ at the top right-hand corner of the test site. Further improvements DVA will continue to refine the website during the test phase to make sure all elements and features are working. In time, we will also introduce enhanced search functionality, to help you find what you’re looking for easily and quickly. The search tool will look across publicly available content on related DVA websites and summarise information for you. Royal Australian Artillery Historical Company News The latest Enewsletter from the RAAHC is available on their website www.artilleryhistory.org One item of interest is the proposed opening in late 2025 of the new Army Museum Puckapunyal. The museum, previously the home of the Tank Museum, will include the artillery collection previously held in storage from the Artillery Museum at North Head which closed in2011. The RAA is looking for volunteers with a knowledge of artillery – equipment, doctrine, tactics and history – to join the museum staff to support the preservation of RAA history and telling the story of our proud and unique Gunner story. Anyone interested in helping out with the museum can give me a call or email and I will forward more information to you.
