How much could you save with DHOAS?



The Defence Home Ownership Assistance Scheme (DHOAS), designed to help purchase or pay off your own home sooner, was launched on 1 July, with the first subsidy certificate issued to a Defcredit member in South Queensland only a day after the scheme commenced.

DHOAS is an Australian Government initiative that recognises the contribution of ADF personnel by subsidising home loan payments. Defcredit is one of only three providers authorised to offer you DHOAS loans.

To find out more about DHOAS home loans, drop into your local branch or call 1800 033 139 to make an appointment with a Defcredit home loan consultant.

survey results



Our recent dispatch survey resulted in valuable feedback from members across Australia on what type of articles should be included. The majority of respondents were keen to see articles on general money management and on specific financial products, including loans and refinancing.

Thanks to all members who participated and congratulations to the winner, Robert Leak, who had his $200 prize deposited into his Defcredit National Access account.


Exclusively CGU insurance



After a thorough review of our insurance relationships, Defcredit has selected CGU to provide protection for your assets and will now only offer CGU insurance to members.

With over 140 years of providing diverse and flexible insurance options to Australians, competitive rates, easy payment options and a fast claims service, CGU offer the high levels of service you have become accustomed to with Defcredit.

If you've organised your insurance through Defcredit and it's not with CGU or Swann, you will receive a letter from Defcredit before your current policy expires.

Be sure to keep an eye out for this and if you have any questions simply call us on 1800 033 139 or CGU directly on 13 22 94.

Fundraising is now underway for the Defence Special Needs Support Group (DSNSG), which supports Defence families with special needs.

Each year, Defcredit staff hold a range of fundraising activities for this very worthy cause. So far, our fundraising total for this year is $19,532 and counting!
