study and trades
Get a degree
Finished year 12 and looking to study at university? Kick-start your career with a fully funded world-class University of New South Wales (UNSW) degree while receiving military leadership training at the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA).
Or if you’re already studying or you have accepted a relevant university offer, a Defence University Sponsorship (DUS) could pay you to complete your degree at the Australian university of your choice and pay your remaining fees. Either way, you’ll earn a salary while you study and walk straight into a job after graduating.
use a trade
If you already have the qualifications, you can apply your skills to exciting new challenges in the ADF.
Pursue your passion in fields such as trades, healthcare and more to gain trade qualifications, travel, live an amazing lifestyle and work on impressive military equipment. Plus, you’ll earn a competitive salary, receive allowances and benefits, and enjoy varied and rewarding work you won’t get with other jobs.
