Health Advice for Children of ADF members

Dependants of ADF members do not currently have any entitlements to health care linked to their parent’s service in the Australian Defence Force.

Parents must independently seek appropriate health services in each posting location for their children. However Defence assistance is available for recognised dependants with special needs.
