Australian Defence Force (Sponsored Undergraduate)

The Australian Defence Force (ADF) Sponsored Undergraduate scheme allows students to earn an income while studying and a guaranteed job when they finish.

Earn More Than a Degree

The scheme is open to students studying Engineering, Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Radiography and Environmental Health. The ADF will pay you a generous salary of up to $40,500p.a. to study at the university of your choice. You’ll have your tuition fees paid (HELP), and receive subsidised accommodation and free healthcare from the day your sponsorship starts.

You’ll graduate into a leadership position as an Officer in the Navy, Army or Air Force and practise your profession in an organisation that values continued learning and development. You will also work with the latest equipment, receive first-class military training and have the opportunity to travel around Australia and overseas. And like any regular job, once your work commitments are done, your spare time is your own.

Alternatively if you are about to complete your degree then you can enter the ADF as a Professional Graduate. This avenue of entry offers more than 50 career positions as an Officer in the Navy, Army or Air Force, and you’ll receive a salary package of between $73,000p.a. and $99,000p.a. depending on your area of specialisation.
