Dependent Assist Scheme

To make the transition to independent health cover much easier, if a dependent can no longer be covered under a family member because they are over 22 and no longer studying full-time, they can take advantage of the Navy Health Dependent Assist Scheme, until age 25.

How it Works

Any dependent who can no longer be covered within the family membership and is under 25, can take out their own General Treatment cover and continue under the family hospital cover until they turn 25.

Am I eligible?

  • Under 25 years of age
  • Over 22 years of age
