Life in a Combat role
Moments of combat can be few and far between. But when they come, you need to be ready. Much of your time in a Combat role is spent preparing yourself, and your team. The training is intense, but rewarding, and there are many roles available. What expertise will you show when it matters most?
Total commitment
Combat roles will bring out the very best in you.
Military Factors

This additional compensation recognises the unique nature of military service and the commitment you make to serve your country. This can include short notice postings around the country and overseas. You will be directed at times to be continuously alert, undertake arduous and hazardous duties, and be exposed to adverse working environments exclusive to military life.
