Welcome

Welcome to the Army Personnel Agency - Darwin

We are tasked with managing the careers and employment of Army Reserve Officers and Soldiers in the Northern Region. That means we try to communicate with members and units and endeavour to place soldiers in jobs that are most suited to them and at the same time satisfy the real needs of local units.

If you are in any part of the Army Reserve, and would like to discuss your progression or prospects, call us. If you are an ex service member and wish to re enlist, please call us.

Remember, the Career Advisers are usually Army Reserve members so you may have to leave your contact details so they can get back to you.

Thanks and hope we hear from you soon.

DIRECTOR

Remember - our motto is "don't hesitate, communicate"
