As one of Australia’s largest employers, we have a wide variety of people working in jobs ranging from specialist roles such as engineers, doctors and technicians to more general roles in business and administration, logistics, communications and hospitality. Just about any job you can think of in the civilian world has an equivalent in the ADF.
A challenging, rewarding career
If you’re currently studying or have just graduated, and would like more challenge and responsibility than you’d find in a typical civilian graduate position, think about becoming an officer in the ADF. Not only do we offer interesting roles in which you’ll develop leadership and decision-making skills, you’ll also be paid a salary which, in most cases, is better than you’d receive in the civilian world.
Working with state-of-the-art technology, you’ll also benefit from ongoing training to keep you abreast of the latest developments in your field, all paid for as part of your job.
The opportunity to travel is one of the features of an ADF career that attracts many people, whether it’s an overseas posting, military mission or a training exercise.
As a member of the ADF you’ll enjoy a great lifestyle, living and working with a team of people who share similar goals and commitments. Depending on where you are, you’ll find the ADF offers a range of leisure resources and you’ll have plenty of time off to spend as you please too. Add the benefits of medical and dental care and more and you’ll understand why an ADF career appeals to so many people.
