Important Update: Smile.com.au Partnership

Defence Health No Longer Partnered with Smile.com.au

As of April 1, 2020, Defence Health is no longer a Smile.com.au partner health fund. However, Central Brisbane Dental has chosen to continue providing the same discounted fees (15-40% off) to all Defence Health members. You still receive these discounts automatically when you present your Defence Health card - no Smile card needed.

Defence Health Insurance

Are you currently a member of the Australian Defence Force or have you previously served? Or have you worked for the Department of Defence or a related department or supplier to the Australian Defence Force? Then you and your extended family may have health insurance through Defence Health.

Central Brisbane Dental proudly accepts Defence Health insurance. Bring your Defence Health card to our Brisbane CBD practice and receive your dental treatment at a discounted price - 15 to 40 percent off our standard fees.

Defence Health previously partnered with Smile.com.au so Defence Health members with extras cover received dental treatment at discounted prices. While this partnership has ended, Central Brisbane Dental continues to honor these discounts. As a Defence Health member, simply present your Defence Health card at your appointment to automatically receive discounted pricing.

How Defence Health Coverage Works

Understanding your benefits and coverage

The Process

When you receive dental treatment at Central Brisbane Dental, Defence Health will pay us directly the amount that they cover when we process your health fund card through our HICAPS terminal. You only have to pay the gap amount if there is one.

  • Book your appointment
  • Attend your dental treatment
  • Present your Defence Health card
  • We apply 15-40% discount automatically
  • Process through HICAPS terminal
  • Defence Health pays us directly
  • You pay only the gap amount (if any)

No Gap Coverage

If you have Defence Health Extras Premier, Value Top Extras or ADF Total Package cover, then you have no gap amount for your six monthly check-up, cleaning and preventive fluoride treatment up to your annual limits.

  • Extras Premier - no gap preventive
  • Value Top Extras - no gap preventive
  • ADF Total Package - no gap preventive

There may be an out-of-pocket charge for other treatments beyond preventive care, but this amount is greatly reduced as you receive a 15 to 40 percent discount off our normal fees.
