Whenever I have contacted Defence Health, the staff have always been extremely professional. They are friendly, courteous and knowledgeable about the product. I have recommended them to family and friends and encouraged them to join if they are eligible.
Ross, Member
Defence Health has been extremely supportive of me since my trouble in December 2021. I was very healthy when I joined but then everything went wrong with my health and you were there for me without any trouble. Thank you for your help.

Over the years, my wife and I have had experience with a number of health insurers, and we're happy to say that Defence Health has been the standout. Reliable, good coverage for as fair a price as is possible.
