Career transition information and advice are provided at ADF transition seminars. These are held periodically in Australian capital cities and some regional centres. The seminars are designed to aid members in their transition to civilian life, by providing an awareness of various matters requiring consideration before service is terminated. |

Members are responsible for planning and initiating transition action at a suitable period before termination. Attendance at seminars assists this planning process. Members may apply at any time during their careers, and may attend several seminars. See: Form AD144, ADF transition seminar application. (This reference is policy guidance) |
