As a sailor, you'll perform additional duties and learn more skills to become highly trained and efficient in supporting the whole ship. This may include ship security, firefighting, flood repair, line handling, flight deck duties, replenishment at sea, ammunitioning or ceremonial duties.
You&rsquo;ll enjoy a competitive salary package, career stability, opportunities for continuous progression and an adventurous lifestyle, all while making a difference to Australia.
