Form D9215 is used to apply for Non-Liability Health Care (NLHC) for cancer. A medical diagnosis of cancer is required. Eligibility depends on eligible service as defined by DVA.

D9215 is lodged with DVA in person, by mail, or by email to NLHC@dva.gov.au. It is not submitted through MyService.

Note: Mental health NLHC uses a separate form (D9213) and can be submitted through MyService, by phone, by email, or in person.

Tips

  • A medical diagnosis of cancer is required for this form
  • This form is NOT submitted via MyService — lodge with DVA in person, by mail, or by email to NLHC@dva.gov.au
  • Eligibility depends on eligible service — verify directly with DVA
  • You can also pursue an Initial Liability claim at the same time

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Trying to submit D9215 through MyService — it must be lodged directly with DVA
  • Not having a cancer diagnosis — this is required for cancer NLHC (unlike mental health NLHC)
  • Using the wrong form — mental health NLHC uses D9213, not D9215
