Veterans left feeling betrayed over cap on health care

Published
WARNING: The following story contains references to self harm. Veterans are fighting back against the government's budget changes to overhaul how they would access allied health services. From next July, veterans will be capped to $5,000 of spending on allied health services annually. The Opposition has heaped parliamentary pressure on veterans’ affairs minister Matt Keough, who’s been accused of not meeting with those concerned about the changes. If this story raises any issues, 24 hour support is available for Veterans and Families through Open Arms on 1800 011 046.
