Navy Health Member Portal and Mobile App FAQs
Learn more about navigating our Member Portal, Mobile App and the features that are available.
Why can I only have one mobile number, email address, and postal address?
Currently, our system is membership based so we can only store one set of contact details of either the main policy holder, partner, or a dependent listed on the policy.
This means the Member Portal and Mobile App only allow one password per membership, however, you can view the profiles of each individual covered by the policy.
Is my password the same on both the Member Portal and the Mobile App?
Yes, your account details will be the same for both your Member Portal login and your Mobile App login. If you have forgotten your password, click ‘Forgotten password?’ and follow the prompts to reset.
How do I create an account?
If you have never logged into either the Member Portal or Mobile App, you will need to register for an account. To do so, please either visit the portal page or download our Mobile App, select “Register”, and follow the prompts.
How do I download the Navy Health Mobile App?
Our Mobile App can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play, or search for ‘Navy Health’ in the app store on your Apple or Android phone.
Will I be able to access the Navy Health Mobile App without mobile data or Wi-Fi?
You will have full access to the app’s capabilities when connected to the internet. You can access limited information on the Mobile App if you are not connected to your mobile data or a Wi-Fi connection.
What is MFA?
Navy Health uses Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to provide an added layer of security that helps to protect your personal data. When you register, log in, or update your password a one-time code will be sent to the registered mobile number or email address on your policy. Should you have trouble logging into the Member Portal or Mobile App please give us a call on 1300 306 289, or email query@navyhealth.com.au.
How do I create an account without an email address or mobile number?
For security reasons you will need to have an email address or mobile number listed on your membership to register for an account. This helps with account recovery and multi-factor authentication functions which are in place to ensure account security.
To add an email address or mobile number, call our Member Services team on 1300 306 289, or email query@navyhealth.com.au.
