Testimonials
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.

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.
