The Defence Service Homes Insurance Scheme (DSH Insurance) is seeking expressions of interest from potential industry partners to work on software solutions and management and administration services.

DSH Insurance is an Australian Government insurer that provides comprehensive home building insurance and other insurance services to members of the Australian Defence Force (ADF), ex-service members and their families.

It is self-funded through premium, investment and commission income and has not required Government funding since its inception in 1919.

“The Federal Government is committed to the continuation of the Scheme and the benefits it provides to the ADF and Veteran communities,” DSH Insurance said.

“As part of its commitment to the ongoing operation of DSH Insurance, the Federal Government legislated an expansion to eligibility criteria which took effect from 1 January 2020.”

“This change has created opportunities for over 300,000 additional ADF and ex-service members, regardless of their type or length of service to access home building insurance through DSH Insurance.”

DSH Insurance is required by Government to conduct periodic reviews of its operations to ensure it is providing insurance products in the most efficient and effective way to the benefit of policyholders.
