Note (This note is policy guidance):

Officers selected will work full-time at the hospital providing the training. The officer remains a full-time member of the ADF for conditions of service. The salary component, paid by the civilian employer, will be remitted to Defence Force Pay Accounting Centre. The sponsored officer will receive their Defence salary plus any amounts the civilian employer pays above the officer’s Defence salary. Under this arrangement, medical officers will retain all of the conditions of service of full-time members.
