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 and you could also be eligible for a subsidy to help you buy your own home.

With the most technologically advanced platforms coming into service, it is a strategic imperative for Navy that we recruit diverse and highly skilled individuals who embrace different perspectives, ways of thinking and problem solving.

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.

Able Seaman Bonnieville Dromgool Medic, Victoria

Navy has made deep inroads into modernising its structures, leadership and culture, and has begun to embed these changes into the way it does business.

I am able to be myself at work which allows me to contribute to the team to the best of my ability. I truly feel included and accepted as someone who is LGBTI and a member of the Australian Defence Force.

Defence leadership sees Diversity as a strength and asset, and sets inclusion for all personnel as a high priority.
