Schoolies wanted for ADF Gap Year program 2015

Assistant Minister for Defence, Stuart Robert, has launched the Australian Defence Force (ADF) Gap Year program for 2015.

Addressing a crowd of secondary school children and teachers in Brisbane, Robert said the program provides an opportunity for young Australians, who have finished year 12 or equivalent, to experience 12 months in the military without the obligation to make a longer commitment.

The program will commence in January/February 2015.

The Army has Gap Year opportunities for Infantry soldiers, drivers, administration clerks and supply coordinators.

The Air Force has Gap Year opportunities in airbase security roles, while it is anticipated Navy will be able to accommodate Gap Year participants in future years.

Anyone interested in applying for the 2015 intake can do so from 1 June by visiting www.defencejobs.gov.au, by phoning 13 19 01 or by visiting their local Defence Force Recruiting Centre.
