More DescriptionThe book looks back over the remarkable and surprisingly complex history of the Defence Service Homes Insurance and Loan Scheme . Established initially as the visionary War Service Homes Scheme, part of the vast repatriation effort that strived to provide support for returned service men and women after the First World War, DSHS (as it later became) included from its foundation an important Insurance component, which has remained a distinguishing feature throughout the Scheme's history. In its Centenary year, DSHIS remains a vital component of Australia's repatriation endeavour, just as it was in 1919, the recent announcement of a widening of eligibility in 2020 to encompass all those who have served at least one day in the Australian Defence Force increasing still further the number of veterans enabled to participate in the Scheme.
