If you cannot access your Defence email to verify your account, reset your password, or register, then you can contact horizon.navy@defence.gov.au who may be able to verify you manually.
Every 12 months you are required to verify that you are still a Defence member to continue to access Horizon. An email will be sent to you to initiate the verification process.
