The Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) has a policy for making its website accessible by older users, those with a disability, or those who are technically constrained by their computer equipment or internet service.

Note 1: This number allows you to ring DVA from anywhere within Australia without being charged long distance rates. If you use a mobile phone, calls may be more costly. You are advised to use a normal phone (i.e. a landline phone) when ringing this number.
Applications such as the drinking self-assessment tool running on this website might not be accessible to some users (e.g. assistive technologies such as screen readers, through a computer "firewall", or with certain browser software/hardware combinations). For users who cannot get online access to these applications, DVA is happy to offer alternative access to the functions and information provided by the applications. Users who require information not accessible online can either send an email to alcoholproject@dva.gov.au or ring their nearest DVA office.
