Domestic Support for Veterans
You served our country. Now it’s our turn to support you. Macarthur Connect is a proudly veteran-owned organisation helping veterans, war widows and widowers keep their homes running smoothly, so they can stay independent and comfortable for longer.
We provide practical domestic services, from household cleaning and laundry to lawn care, shopping and transport, delivered by a respectful local team who understand the value of service, routine and reliability.
We can work alongside your Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) entitlements and help you understand the support available to you.
