APOD stands for Australian Partners of Defence - it is who we are, who we do business with and who we do it for, represented in the tri-service colours on our logo.
Recognising those who serve.
APOD exists to recognise those who serve. We understand that when one person serves, their whole family serves.
If you are a current or former defence member, reservist, veteran, allied military personnel or an immediate family member, we recognise the unique nature of your sacrifice in service to your country and welcome you to join APOD, which was created exclusively for you.

Partnered with Department of Veterans’ Affairs
In partnership with the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA), we are now able to extend membership access to all Veteran Cardholders, through a DVA subscription to APOD.
This means that you receive free access to thousands of offers through the APOD program whilst DVA continues to provide this benefit to all Veteran Cardholders.
Enjoy all of the benefits of being an APOD member, including savings on everyday shopping, accommodation, experiences, gift cards and special offers.
Two easy ways for Veteran Cardholders to sign up:
1. New DVA Cardholders can sign up through MyService. Simply tick the box to subscribe to APOD when applying for your new Veteran Card. You’ll get an email from us with instructions to verify your email address and create a password so you can log in to the APOD website.
2. Existing DVA Cardholders can sign up through the APOD website. You will need to have your Veteran Card ready to provide your DVA File Number and name exactly as it appears on your card to automatically authenticate your free APOD access.
Becoming a member is easy.
APOD gives you access to discounts that are exclusively for you. Join in minutes, it’s easy!
Your APOD membership comes with some great features, like our digital store cards that are valid at over 50 participating national retailers, our virtual membership card and our new mobile website, which pinpoints all of the participating retailers in your area so that you get the maximum value from your APOD membership.
Searching for and using offers couldn’t be easier. Simply search online at APOD.com.au or via our mobile app. And the best part is that you can use the discounts again and again, to add up to real savings!
*If you are not a Veteran Cardholder, choose a monthly or annual subscription to get immediate member access.
