Introduction

The aim of the Career Transition Assistance Scheme (CTAS) is to provide members of the ADF with assistance that will facilitate their transition to civilian employment on separation. The scheme does not provide members with specific employment on discharge; rather, it provides them with tools designed to assist them to better market their skills and experience in the civilian marketplace.

The CTAS is a series of benefits that are provided to assist the member to transfer to civilian employment. It is the responsibility of the member to ascertain their needs and to apply for the benefits. The Resettlement Officer (RO) will be responsible for the assessment of a member's eligibility and the appropriateness of the application.

The CTAS provides a variety of benefits to members according to their length of service. A guide to benefits is detailed below. Note that all amounts listed are not inclusive of GST. GST is a refundable extra cost.
