BENEFITS

Our salaries compare favourably to rates in the civilian world, but it’s the additional benefits that really make the difference. You get full medical and dental cover, travel and leave entitlements, rental assistance, support to study and you could also be eligible for a subsidy to help you buy your own home.

The Army is evolving as an agile and inclusive organisation, which incorporates and utilises the diverse backgrounds and skills of its people in order to be best poised to anticipate and respond successfully to future challenges.

The different backgrounds, skills and ways of thinking found within Australia’s diverse population are features that the Army will use to its full advantage to enhance its capability.

LGBTI Defence personnel and their families are supported by the Australian Defence Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex Information Service (DEFGLIS). DEFGLIS aims to support through professional networking, strengthen capability by inclusion, and educate Defence personnel about sexual orientation, transgender and intersex issues.

Private Cooper Kereopa

The Army is a great place to work. The mates I’ve made within Army, and my superiors, have given me the support and confidence I need to be myself and openly identify as an LGBTI Soldier.

My superiors and the Defence leadership see diversity and inclusion as a high priority and I’m proud to be part of such an inclusive and diverse organisation.
