A family policy allows dependent children up to the age of 21 (or age 31 if they are all studying full-time) to be covered by the same policy as their parent/guardian.

An extended family policy allows dependent children over the age of 21 and up to the age of 31 who are not studying full-time to be covered under the same policy as their parent/guardian for an additional cost.

Dependent children can be covered by a family or extended family policy so long as they’re not married or in a de-facto relationship.
