They say an army marches on its stomach, and so as an Army Chef, you are responsible for all the catering requirements of an army unit!
The job is not just about cooking, it also involves; the ordering and receipt of all food stores, the management of army rations, and the planning and control of catering functions such as formal dinners.
You will perform these duties as part of a small catering team, in diverse situations, ranging from large modern catering facilities, to a using a mobile kitchen in the field.
But that is not all
you will do. You will learn to shoot the F88 Austeyr Rifle, train
in basic fieldcraft, and participate in live firing exercises
and adventurous activities such as abseiling.

After you have completed Common Recruit Training (CRT) at Kapooka, you will be ready to start your Initial Employment Training (or ‘IET’ as we call it). We will teach you everything you need to be a fully skilled Army Chef.
The Basic Catering Course is a 2 week course. The training is conducted in Albury, New South Wales, at the Army Logistics Training Centre. All your travel, accommodation and meals are free. Plus you get TAX FREE pay while you are gaining your new skill.
After this course
you will have all the skills required to become involved in running
a unit kitchen.
