Home > ADF Dependant Healthcare ADF Dependant HealthcareProvision of Healthcare to ADF Dependants The Government is committed to recognising the service and sacrifices of ADF personnel and the important and valuable role their families play in the achievement of the Defence mission. The families of those serving Australia deserve full support and this trial is aimed at evaluating a model of healthcare that will benefit our ADF families. The Government has committed $12.2 million over the next four years to a trial to provide basic medical and dental care to families living in remote and regional locations, with implementation expected early in 2009. The Government has decided, in consultation with Defence, that implementation of the policy to provide basic dental and medical care to dependants of ADF members will be trialled at Singleton (NSW), East Sale (VIC), Cairns (QLD), Katherine (NT) and the Karratha/Pilbara region (WA). Potential for further expansion of the policy will be determined after a review to be completed by December 2009. As a result, we are still exploring many of the answers to the questions you are likely to ask. In an effort to keep you informed, we have provided some information on our Frequently Asked Questions page. This website will continue to be updated as more information becomes available. We thank you for your patience as we seek to provide the best outcomes for our ADF families
