2. JOINING AND LEAVING THE ADF

 

2.1 Joining the ADF

 

You may be a new recruit to the ADF, or perhaps you are thinking of becoming one. This book is a good way to learn about the employment conditions that apply when you are a member. It is only a guide (see 1.1, Required reading).

 

There are some conditions that apply to people who have applied to join.

 

If you need to travel for an interview and there is no public transport, you may be given help with travel costs. If you must travel overnight, you may be given money to help pay for accommodation and meals. If you lose money from your current job because of your ADF interview or medical examination, you may be given some financial help.

 

Different arrangements apply to people who have applied overseas to work in Australia.

 

Application to Reservists:  Yes, under certain conditions.
