We’ll send your health cover details straight to the Australian Tax Office (ATO). They’ll pre-fill what they can (income, super, health cover), and you or your tax agent can take your return from there in ‘MyTax’ from 1 July. You’ll also be able to download a copy of your details from your Member Portal for peace of mind. Tax time isn’t fun… but at least this part is easy!

Everyone’s needs are different but knowing how you can use your Extras is a great place to start.
With 1 July around the corner and annual limits about to reset, it’s a good time to think about how you might make the most of your cover.

Sometimes the unexpected happens.
Our Lifestyle Extras includes a benefit towards private hospital emergency department fees, offering additional support when you need it most.

EOFY is closer than you think.
If you have extras cover, now is a good time to check what you’ve used and what limits you have left before 1 July. Check your remaining limits in the Member Portal and book those appointments!

Leaving the Defence force? Here’s What You Need to Know About LHC Loading.

Proud to support Soldier On and the important work they do for veteran and Defence families.
These programs play a vital role in strengthening connection, confidence and wellbeing. We look forward to continuing our partnership and supporting these families together.

Parenting support for veteran and Defence families 💙

Parenting can come with unique challenges for veteran and Defence families, shaped by service, deployment and the transition to civilian life. These experiences can influence how families connect, communicate and support one another - often in ways that aren’t always visible.

At Soldier On, we recognise that supporting veterans means supporting families too. Our parenting programs are a key part of our health and wellbeing services, offering practical tools, shared understanding and a supportive environment for families to grow together.

Delivered nationally with the support of Defence Health, programs including Tuning into Kids, Tuning into Teens, Circle of Security and Lighthouse help parents better understand their child’s emotions, build confidence in their responses, and strengthen connection at home.
