Opportunity Expired
Are you considering a career change, seeking long-term job security or looking for a role that can provide a sense of accomplishment?
If you're the kind of person who likes working in a team environment and taking charge in challenging situations, you may have the traits to become an Officer in the Australian Army.
Whether you're finishing year 12 later this year, graduating from tertiary studies, or you're already in the workforce, you'll be trained from the ground up to unlock your full potential and turn into an effective leader.
The role:
Army General Service Officers on graduation will lead a team of up to 30 personnel across a variety of combat and combat support roles. In a combat leadership role, you could be an Armoured Officer who takes command of a team operating large tanks, or an Infantry Officer who directs soldiers in security operations, humanitarian missions and disaster relief efforts. In a combat support leadership role, you could be an Ordinance Officer managing the supply and distribution network, or you could be a Transport Officer responsible for the coordination of the Army's land, sea and air transport. And they're just a few of the roles available.
The responsibility entrusted to Army Officer graduates is greater than other careers, however the training ensures you're prepared for the responsibility that comes with your role. The journey may be challenging, but the personal satisfaction and reward that comes with the achievements makes it worthwhile.
Training:
You'll receive world-class training at the Royal Military College (RMC) in Canberra, and get paid whilst studying. With two intakes per year, Officer training will teach you techniques for problem solving, decision making and performing under pressure.
Upon completion, you'll be an Army Officer capable of taking command, inspiring and mentoring others, and managing complex scenarios. Plus, you're guaranteed a role within one of the thirteen specialisations, based on preferences and performance.
No matter your specialisation, the invaluable leadership and management skills you'll learn at RMC will enable you to succeed in the Army, whilst being highly sought-after in the private sector too.
Salary:
In the Army you'll get paid a competitive salary from day one regardless of your age, experience or qualifications; and your pay increases as you progress through training.
On completion of your initial military training and initial employment training, you are guaranteed a role and could earn $77,838 per annum plus generous superannuation. You'll also receive salary increments based on career progression.
Life in the Army:
Action, adventure, exciting career opportunities and amazing mateship—there's so much to love about life in the Army. Not to mention the sense of accomplishment and pride that comes from serving your country and providing support to communities in need, both here and overseas.
This is no ordinary job—but that's exactly what you're looking for. Enjoy a rewarding career, opportunities to travel, excellent fitness facilities, and free medical and dental; all in a supportive and fulfilling work environment.
Location:
Following your initial military training in Canberra, you could be posted to one of the many Army bases and units across Australia, depending on your specialisation.
